I have Windows XP home edition. I am not sure if I can ask this in here but
if not you can tell me a better place maybe?
My husband has been looking at online adult sites and whilst I don't have a
problem with him doing so, I have to take my computer into a shop to get
some hardware put in and installed. I use the programs Spybot Search and
Destroy and also Ad-Aware. I am still concerned that the shop will see the
sites he has been to and I was hoping someone here may be able to tell me
how to wipe out his tracks. I know that you cant see anything much by just
going into your main files and folders, but I have been told that
professionals can still see things after they have been deleted. Can anyone
give me a clue on this?

Ok, so once the sites aren't visible in the drop menus and such, they are
gone for good? Do the sites leave anything on the computer (besides the
spyware I have deleted) or if he has deleted anything he has downloaded they
are all gone for good?

If you are using IE, right click on IE/Properties and click on Delete Files
and tick where it says Delete all offline content. Click on Clear History.
If you use Firefox or something else, post back.

I use IE, and I've completed both tasks you mentioned.
I hope this means I am safe.

Sure, and it's doubtful any tech would be interested in viewing where your
husband has been, although you might want to reboot and then go to your temp
files at

C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME for your husband\Local Settings\Temp and
delete everything in that folder. Be sure to reboot before doing this.

In news:HIhqe.195$Pj7.6491@nnrp1.ozemail.com.au,
Curios... <Bebe1166@hotmail.com> had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

> Great! Thank you. I will do that before I take it in to the place.

Just in addition...

May I ask why you'd take your PC into a shop where there are people you
can't trust to respect your privacy working there? An even better question
might be, if you're capable of doing all of this to your PC then you have
the navigational basics down so why pay someone to do something you can
probably do on your own?

Taking your pc to the techs is like going to the doctor, they've seen it
all before.
