Internet Explorer, by default, is configured to record all of the Web sites that you visit for a 30-day period. If you are concerned about your privacy, your browsing history should be cleaned frequently and history settings configured best for privacy. Doing so will ensure that any user of your computer will not be able to easily see what you have been doing. Keep in mind, however, that if you get rid of the browser history, you will eliminate the ability to use the history to go back to Web sites for which you might have forgotten the URL.
That use is really the only reason I can think of that makes the browser history useful. If you can live without that convenience, then follow these steps to clear your history from your PC:
1. Open up a copy of Internet Explorer by using either the icon on the desktop or on the Start panel.
2. Once Internet Explorer is open, click the Tools menu bar item and select Internet Options.
3. Then, just click the Clear History button.
4. Your history will now be cleared. Because you still have Internet Options open on your screen, adjust the amount of days that your browsing history is stored.
5. As mentioned earlier, the default setting for this value is normally 30 days. Highlight the number in the days to keep pages in history box and type in 0 to maximize your privacy.
6. Then, click OK to save your changes and exit the Internet Options screen.
After you have cleared your browser history and modified the history setting, your privacy will be much easier to protect.
