Good Morning,

Over the weekend my little cousin has told me that he has been browsing some unsavoury porn sites from my computer.

Now I want to have any trace deleted from my copmputer.

My understanding is that files are never completely deleted from a computer.

How can I make sure there is absolutely no trace of the sites visited????

Thanks for your help.

Hi welcome to PCHF this will clear it off the PC

To delete temporary Internet files

1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.

To delete Internet address history

1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, under History, click Clear History.

Thanks mate.

Will this completely remove any trace of the sites visited? ie if an IT looked at my computer would they be able to trace it (obviously I dont believe this will happen)

I am a father with 2 kids - I dont want this sh!t on my computer.

Welcome to PCHF,

Two suggestions:

My first suggestion is for you to download and install this program (it's free) CCleaner ... Alternative Download.
After installing...run the program...click on Analyzer...then click on Run Cleaner.
On the left side of the window, click on Registry...click on Scan for issues...click on Fix selected issues.

This program will cleanup your temp files and cookies

Secondly, use Disk Defragmenter:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Defragmenter.


Click Analyze to start the Disk Defragmenter.


2. To defragment the selected drive, click the Defragment button.
After the defragmentation is complete, Disk Defragmenter displays the results.


3. Click the Close button.



By defragging the drives, you will be over writing the space where the previously deleted files had been written.
