1). Deleting browser Cache – without software
If you are like the majority of people, you surf the internet on a shared computer. You might know already, but if you don't: Everywhere that you go your computer is keeping record of; leaving your finger tips all over the place for others to find.
There are a few quick and easy things that you can do to remove these traces, without buying any software, that a lot of people advertise.
2). Deleting Browsing traces from windows
Whenever you search the internet, and view files on your computer your operating system is taking note of these operations, and stores them for later. This can be a useful tool for re-tracing your footsteps; but what happens when you don’t want other people to be able to find out where you’ve been.
This may seem a bit technical but it’s really quite.
3). Deleting Browsing traces from Windows Media Player
You’ve been browsing the Internet or opening and closing media files, and you notice that you’ve left your fingerprints all over your operating system. You would think that media files that you downloaded, viewed and deleted are gone: But they’re not entirely.
If you opened up your media in "Windows Media Player", it has also made note of what videos that you have watched.
4). Search Engine Progressions over time
The first search engine was created by Alan Emtage, a student McGill university. His search engine was Called "Archie". Archie worked by downloading directory listings from files that were located on anonymous FTP sites; Thus creating a searchable database of filenames. As Archie was limited to filenames only, it was a year later, in 1991, when Mark McCahill at the University of Minnesota created "Gopher", which was able to index plain documents.
