All the pages we view on the Internet are recorded in a special log. And if someone sits down at our computer, they can get into it. This means he will be able to see all the places we visited, and even read the correspondence.

This journal is called History and, fortunately, entries from it can be deleted.

How to clear history on your computer

A list of Internet pages that have been recently visited opens. You can remove individual addresses from it. To do this, click on the small arrow button next to the page title and select “Remove from history.”

And if you need to remove all pages for a certain period of time (for example, today), click on the clear button at the very top of the list.

A small window will appear. At the top, select a time period and mark with birds what exactly needs to be removed.

Internet Explorer. - Security - Delete browsing history…

Important

This way we erase log entries, information about downloads and clear the browser memory (pages, photos, videos). But all passwords and logins that the program remembers remain in place.

This means that if you, for example, logged into your mail or Odnoklassniki/Contact/Facebook without entering any logins or passwords, then everything will remain that way. And anyone at this computer will be able to do the same: type the address and open your page. That is, he will receive full access- will be able to read the correspondence, delete something, add something.

To prevent this from happening, you need to erase cookies and passwords. And for global cleaning, there’s also everything else. This is done by checking certain boxes in the deletion box.

And all because many users do not remember, and some do not even know, their login passwords. And after such cleaning, they are unable to log into their pages and mail. And then they write to me: save me, help me, what should I do?! But nothing can be done - previously you had to think and connect your mobile number to each page and mail.

How to prevent sites from being included in history

Nowadays every browser has a special private mode, the so-called Incognito. You can open your program for the Internet in this mode and then nothing will be captured. But everything will work as before: sites will open, files will be downloaded, bookmarks will be added.

Immediately after exiting incognito mode, the browser will erase everything that happened there:

• entered passwords
• cookies
• search queries
• URLs of visited pages

Note: this will not protect you from viruses or make you invisible in in social networks.

How to open anonymous mode

Google Chrome. - New window in incognito mode

Yandex. - Advanced - New window in Incognito mode

Opera. - Create a private window

Mozilla Firefox. - Private window

Internet Explorer. - Security - InPrivate Browsing
