By Quinn Harris


If you are like most people, surfing the Internet on a shared computer is what you usually do. You might already be aware, but if you're not: Everywhere that you go your computer is keeping record of; leaving your finger tips all over the place for others to find.

Even without buying any software that a lot of people advertise, there are a few quick and easy things that you can do to remove these traces.

Your Internet browser under normal settings is always storing your browsing history, cached files of pages, and saved form information. You can get busted for your past browsing habits thanks to these three places. They can become a nuisance when you don't want other people to know where you are even though these things are all meant to make your browsing experience more convenient and quicker.

An actual stored copy of a web page that sits on your local computer is called cache and the purpose of this is for your browser to load it rather than always downloading pages from the Internet.

The browser's way of tracking where you have been both in the address is history and this will help make future URL input faster and also help you retrace and find the pages that you have visited recently.

To help speed it up the next time that you use a form, a saved form information is a very handy tool that will allow the browser to remember what you entered into forms.
