How to Clear All Traces of Your Internet Activity

[Windows only] Everyday we perform hundreds of activities on Internet and each activity actually has been recorded down in a form of cookies, logs or temporary internet files. Some of these files are useful, but some actually do harm. It would be safe to clean out unwanted traces of your online journeys and keep you Internet privacy after accessing some security website, for example, online banking website.

IE Privacy Keeper takes the burden of sweeping up the crumbs by making sure no one will know the web sites you’ve visited, or the search queries you’ve made.

Regardless you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, IE Privacy Keeper automatically cleans up the browser history once you are done surfing the net. The program will correctly clean up all index.dat files without the need for a Windows restart.

You can specify custom files and registry keys to delete. IE Privacy Keeper has secure deletion feature to prevent data recovery and conceal the cleanup.

You can keep selective items in the browsing history and hide the program form the list of running applications. Secure deletion will make any attempts to recover deleted items fail.

Wendy: CCleaner cleans everything that can be cleaned inside your computer, not just browser based junks.

@wendy: Frankly speaking, I have not try CC cleaner yet. So your answer is not with me. But I did google it. I think both consist the almost same function for clearing Internet traces.

@Fahmishah: No problem.

@Syahid A.: Thanks for helping me to reply. :)

Well this is a good utility, but like wendy said I think CCleaner is more better since it also includes cleaning up of other temporary files.

Great post. One more utility to consider is Portable Sweeper.
This app runs directly from your USB Flash Drive (disk-on-key) and is great for making sure you do not leave tracks on a computer you use only once, such as Internet Cafe computers. It is also good for use in your own computer.

Nice post. I think IE Privacy Keeper cleans all traces of the browser, offline activities.. and may be CCleaner cleans all temporary files and other junk files inside your computer.
