    Not sure what she's doing or what you're not doing to clear everything.

    Are you clearing recent history? (Tools -> Clear Recent History...)

    If that doesn't get rid of everything you want, you could try using CCleaner, which will clear leftovers from most major browsers. Only use it to clear your browser history, do not use the registry cleaner function unless you really really know what you're doing.

    Me too, or else get VMware Player and install Linux in a virtual machine and don't tell her the password or even what it is or how to start it. But better, ask her why she is prying into your private affairs. Unless she has good reason to?

      Easy with the capital letters, hotshot. If this is how you communicate with your girlfriend, I am surprised she still is choosing to occupy that position. Possibly you did not clear everything that you thought you did. Since you are short on details and long on CAPITAL LETTERS, this thread is pretty much a guess-fest. What is it exactly that you are doing with your browser that you don't want her to find out about? Believe me, when you have major issues of trust and communication in a relationship, the last thing you should be worrying about is your browser history.

      It would be impossible to know what your girlfriend is doing on your computer. Perhaps you should ask her.

      In the meantime, we have given you what suggestions we could with regards to clearing your browser history.

        Salmon doesn't have a short fuse, he is just pointing out (and rather politely) that when capitol letters are used, that this is generally accepted that it's the same as shouting, and usually people do not like being shouted at!!

        And, being as you have only given ONE detail for us to play with, then you should be thankful of the interest in your topic.

        Have you got everybox ticked in the 'Details' box
        Have you set it to 'clear everything' and not 'clear last hour'

        IMHO she has probably remembered something from when you DIDN'T clear the history and is using that golden nugget of information to make you sweat, because you're obvously up to something that you don't want her to see, as you trying to clear the history all the time.
        11 cheers for binary !

        This is so true.

        use the private browsing mode of firefox and you'll be good to go. Unless she's watching you while your on the internet.
