Title: internet erasers
Post by: jm46573 on April 25, 2012, 02:48:59 PM

I believe possibly someone was going to porn sites on my laptop and has possibly used an internet eraser.  All of the internet history has been deleted.  Is it posible to be able to detect if an internet eraser was used to delete all of the information.  Please help.  I am currently running in windows 7.

Welcome!

A Google search shows many ways to have an 'Internet Erase', a program that destroyers browser history.

Take a look in  'Documents' and in 'Downloads' to see if any unbeknown programs were recently downloaded.

They may simply have used the browser's history clearing feature.
