Question
Hello Kieth,

i have heard that i can view the pages that ive visited with my PC even after ive erased the web history. Can you tell me step by step how to do this please, and, how to erase it in a way that it is erased completely?

Answer
This explains recovering deleted history: http://www.wikihow.com/Recover-Deleted-History-in-Windows

For deleting history where anyone but an expert who is paid generously cannot recover it, I would use Ccleaner. There is a setting in Ccleaner that not everyone may know about. In the program under "options" is the option to use DOD, NSA, or Guttman file deletion.
