Erase Browser History

Internet history is more than just the sidebar on the left-hand side of your monitor. Internet history is really a broad grouping of several files on your computer where the actual addresses of websites you visit are collected. These files are used in functions like the Back and Forward buttons on your browser and even the auto complete function in your URL bar. Just opening one of these Internet history files would give a person a complete picture of where you go on the Internet.

Unfortunately with most browsers it’s not easy to simply erase history. Even if you successfully erase history files by hand, Internet Explorer keeps another file called “index.dat” hidden on your computer in several locations. This file keeps a total record of every website you visit. And this file is locked, so you can’t delete it by hand.

To manage your privacy right and completely erase history, you need an expert. PC Confidential will successfully erase your history, including the locked index.dat file.
