What about ERASERS?

Isn't there something that erases cookies or info. from the hard drive?????? Going to the computer store today to buy disks. Might as well do it all at one time.

Re:What about ERASERS?

Yes there are, but you can also do it yourself.

(I'm assuming you're using Windows here)

1. Delete your cache-It's on the preferences panel (Internet Options Panel) for whatever browser you're using. They all have a "Delete" button.

2. Delete your history. It's on the same place as the cache, but may be on a different tab depending on your web browser.

3. Delete your cookies. If you're using IE, there's a folder on your computer called "Cookies" that contain a lot of text files. You can use the search function off the start menu to find the folder, and then delete everything inside it.

Congradulations, you've been erased.

Re:What about ERASERS?

Any of those files can easily be unerased. There are other hidden files the MS creates under all windoze versions that track the web sites you visit. Most are in files called index.dat which is damn hard to find let alone delete unless you know computers inside and out. None of your methods touch them. I suggest that you defrag your hard drive on a regular basis after your steps. That will make it damn tough to undelete the files.
