How to Cover Your Tracks When Surfing the Internet

Your tracks can be easily traced on the internet—and you may not even know it! When surfing the Internet, you leave an easy map to follow as you travel around the web. Here are some steps to take to protect your privacy:

When using Internet Explorer:
• Under “Tools,” select “Internet Options” and then “General.”
• Under “Temporary Internet Files,” click “Delete Files.”
• Under “History, click Clear History.” Set the number box marked “Days to keep pages in history” to one, and it will delete your history list every 24 hours.
When using Netscape:
• Select “Edit,” then “Preferences.” Double click on “Navigator.”
• Click “History” and then “Clear History.”
• Set the number of days to keep history to 1.
• Double click “Advanced,” then click “Cache.” Click “Clear Memory Cache” and Clear Disk Cache.”

Now your privacy will be protected when you’re not there!
