Erasing Your Internet History

   Screen for "clear history."

   Click on the "options" choice while still in Internet Explorer and "clear history" and click "OK" when you are finished. This will exit the dialog box and return you to your browser.

3. Click on Mozilla Firefox and open up the web browser. Go to "tools" to access the web-browsing history. If you don't use Mozilla Firefox you can skip this step.

4. Click on "clear private data" on that same "tools" menu towards the bottom of the list. A dialog box will open up asking you which files you would like to clear. You can do one or all of the choices and set it to clear upon each exit.
