PC Problem - Help Needed
Posted on 03/09/2005 7:27:12 PM PST by MplsSteve
I use Microsoft as my Internet browser.
recently, I went into Internet Options.
I delete cookies and files. I go in and wipe out clear out History...
...but I still keep seeing internet sites that I THOUGHT I'd previously deleted up in the browser line. For example, Free Republic shows up in my browser as I start to type in its address. It automatically fills in.
What the hell am I not doing correctly?!

...going to dirty sites that you can't delete :)
To: MplsSteve
For one thing, you're deleting Free Republic!
Seriously, you may still have some data in your cache. I believe there's an option for clearing out the cache as well, and perhaps someone with more experience in IE than I have can lead you to it.

Recommend moving to Firefox and get some spyware removal software to reduce problems anyhow, since IE can cause more problems in the long run.
To: MplsSteve
I wish it were possible for anyone who has Administrator privileges to delete the history, cache, and cookies for all the users of all the computers on a network.

Do yourself a favor.
Get Firefox and dump Internet Exploder. If you insist on using Exploder: Go to Tools|Internet Options|Content. Click the Autocomplete button and have-at-it.

"Total Cleaner" is good for clearing out your IE5 cache'd files and your internet history. But get a spyware removal tool and then never use IE again, MOZILLA FIREFOX
