Erasing browser history...

[Dakota Wood]

Is anyone else having a problem getting rid of perb? I ran internet clean-up. When I noticed it wasn't gone, I went back, ran internet clean-up again and went into tools and erased history, deleted cookies, etc. Yet, when I open up my browser and type in www.p, whoop, there it is...perb pops up in the address bar. I've tried entering in other sites i've visited in the recent past (mls, google, etc.) they are all erased, yet perb is still here. What's up with that?

Try This

If you're using IE, click on Tools, Internet Options, Content and then AutoComplete.

You can turn off any AutoComplete settings as well as clear any Autocomplete Password and Forms history.

Use Cleancache3, it's free and provides secure deletion. Just Google it.

A utility called 'crapcleaner' (freeware) will clean IE's cache plus *lots* more.

Ccleaner is a great program

the new version has a handy 'clean private data' button that will clean as much or as little as you want: history, saved form, passwords, cache, cookies, download history and authenticated sessions.

window washer

Webroot 'Window Washer' is what I use at work. It cleans out all temp files, history, address bar history, recycle bin, and it is freeeeee.....

I use IE 6.0 with Autocomplete disabled. I have no problems erasing history, cookies, temp files, etc. They do not appear when I do a search.

However, I have a related question. Does anyone know how to hide the name of the web page from the top of the screen above the IE toolbar? It's very prominent in large letters, e.g. "Smelly pussy? - Pacific Escort Review Board - Microsoft Internet Explorer". It would be nice to be able to not show that. Anyone?

As might be expected, IE help is useless.
