Clear search history
Erase Search History
Have you noticed that when you start to type in a search box (such as Google or Yahoo) that a drop-down list with EVERY search you’ve ever typed appears? Needless to say your search history (auto-complete) leaves a pretty visible map of where you’ve been online. While this feature may be helpful for some things, it can also seriously compromise your security and privacy.
This "saved list" happens because of a feature called auto-complete. This feature stores a list of ANYTHING you type in a web page. Which means your name, your email, your credit card numbers, your address and your passwords could all be stored in your Auto Complete History.
What if someone else were to use your computer and start a search using Google. The problem is, these websites don't just remember one thing, they remember it ALL. Would you want everyone to see ALL of your searches?
PC Confidential makes it easy to protect your privacy and erase items from your Auto Complete History.
