How to Remove a URL Search

Web browsers allow you to surf the Internet for a vast amount of content. Any time you type a URL address on a search bar, or on the GO bar, your computer system stores these files in temporary folders, allowing you easier access to them later on. With the presence of spyware programs that track personal information, it's important to clear your URL searches every now and then. This simple process ensures that no one knows of your browsing habits as well as minimizes access to vital personal information.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
