How to Set AskEraser
Privacy is an important issue when it comes to Internet browsing activity, especially when multiple people use the same computer. The popular Ask search website offers the AskEraser privacy feature. When set, AskEraser automatically deletes the search history from the computer, as well as all personal information, such as the IP address and User ID, from the Ask.com servers. The feature is available for both registered and unregistered users. AskEraser can be disabled or enabled at any time through the Ask settings.
