How to Completely Erase Your Web Browser History for Internet Security - batteryfast.com

Nov. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- In most instances, this would not be a big issue especially on a home computer.

Leaving a trail for others to find the sites you have visited can lead to some

Internet security risks.

If hackers access your computer, they can see where you have been. This includes

passwords and account information if you neglected to log off the site before you

closed the browser window.

To begin erasing your browser history with Firefox:

· Locate the Tools at the top of your browser window and click on it

· Click on Options, then thePrivacy tab

· You now have a few actions you can take. You will see the words "Firefox will"

with a field box where you can choose: Remember History, Never Remember History, or

Use Custom Settings for History.

The first two choices are self explanatory but the third option gives you more

choices. If you Use Custom Settings for History:

· Select Automatically Start Firefox in a Private Browsing Session. This setting

will keep your browsing history private. If this isn't what you wish, you can make

any other choice you want.

· You can erase your history at any time so if you select the option of having

Firefox remember your history for a number of days, you can let Firefox delete the

history after that time period, or do it manually or let your antivirus/antispyware

program automatically do it for you when you schedule it.

To manually delete your browser history, follow the steps above to go to your

Privacy tab

· In the middle of the page click on the link in blue that reads Clear Your Recent

History.

· A drop down menu appears and gives you a choice of the time frame for deleting

the history. You can select now, today, the last few hours or everything.

Cookies are required for many websites to allow access. Every time you visit a

website, cookies are installed on your computer so that you are recognized when you

return. It is a very good idea to delete the cookies regularly because again, they

are footprints for your Internet activity to be viewed.

Don't worry if you delete cookies and then decide to return to a website because

they will be installed again.
