Title: Deleting history
Post by: computer101 on August 31, 2007, 01:49:57 PM

I need help deleting a website.  I normally go to Tools and click on Internet options.  Then I hit delete files and then delete history.  This has cleared out all of my past history and files.  However, when i start typing in www. (address), the website pops up.  I share a computer at work with a few other people and I know its porn site.

 Is this a possible spyware?  How do I delete that website.

In Tools /Advanced in IE make sure allow inline autocomplete is un'checked...it's about 1/2 way down the page of selections...

Click tools at the top. Then go down to internet options(should be the bottom one) and then a window should pop up. Click clear history.
So I assume you were lookin at porn?
