What are some of the better history cleaners?

Post by evil_ash_xero »

I'm specifically looking for ones that will delete ALL Firefox history. I have CCleaner, but I don't feel as if it's really doing all it shoud be. Ace Utilities was great, but doesn't get updated anymore.

Well?

Best thing to do is tell your mom to stop snooping around on your computer.

Stop looking at THOSE WEBSIGHTS

I picture Creed from The Office (US one) writing this post, then it's hilarious

I like how he ended it with "Well?"

Just find where FF stores it's history and run a file shredder on everything in there. Done.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Okay. If you want to be even safer, set up a RAM disk and get Firefox to use that - or use the "Private Browsing" function.

Just perplexed as to what you're paranoid about...

Well, if you all need to know, my computer fizzled out, and mine isn't getting here until January. So, I have to use my sister's computer.

And you know.

For the ultra-paranoid, I'm not even sure the RAM disk will be completely secure. Even if you tell Firefox to not use any disk cache at all, there's still a chance that whatever is in system memory might be paged to the hard disk.

Just turn off Firefox or media player histories...

If you're going to be as paranoid as I think you are, grab a copy of Damn Small Linux [50MB], burn it to a CD, and use the copy of FF on that. It doesn't even mount your Windows drive, and unless you have it installed, it doesn't use swap.

Just tell your sister so you don't have to deal with this crap. I'm sure she knows already, anyway.

Most sensible suggestion. Mind you, when I was a teenager I probably wouldn't have wanted family members to definatively know. Couldn't care less these days :lol:

Easiest way is to delete Firefox altogether, and use portable version on an USB drive.

Don't sweat it, Ace Utilities is updating again.

Next time i'll ask in the After Dawn forums, where people are more used to paranoia. :lol:

Believe me, we're pretty paranoid around here. I don't think you're paying attention to the suggestions.
