Browsing Privacy

As you surf through the Internet, copies of web pages, browsing history, cookies, and other data accumulate in your computer, with most of them in the browser's cache. These data are automatically managed and their existence is hardly your concern if not for the security issues they pose.

As far as these data are concern, there is only one protection method available, that is to delete them. The deleted data will be automatically reconstructed again later on, as needed.

Guides to manually delete cache data;
- Mozilla Firefox 2
- Internet Explorer 7

It is advisable to delete the cache's data after performing sensitive transaction such as; online banking and credit card related transaction.


Cleaning Tool (CCleaner)

For Windows user, a FREE cleaning software is highly recommended. Besides deleting browser cache's data, it also removes temporary data generated by some other softwares.

CCleaner (Pls check their license)

NOTE:
Software Uninstalling and Startup Programs Management functionalities are also included in the CCleaner. Please check the help files for details.
