Clearing up Internet "History"

[FinancialAnalystKid]

Is there a way to lose your tracks?

Just not the Clear History or delete cookies or Temp INternet files... How else does I.T. see what you're doin' online?

Right, that won't do it... With I.E., you need to make your Index.dat files go away. :wink:

You're probably already busted!

Also, note, there are I.E. performance implications as well. My I.E. can perform like a pig after deleting my history and cookies. Guess what the culprit is...

I don't think they frown too much that I'm at mrexcel since that's where I'm learning things they want me to learn!

But I was always curious about such things!

Right. Well now you know. You are welcome.

 

[FinancialAnalystKid]

Whoops!

Thanks for the info NateO!!!

You are welcome. And I'm moving this to a technical forum.

Your internet traffic is probably also passing through a proxy server on your network, so there'll be a trace there, and at your ISP too.

I used to work at a desk next to our internet security guy, it was hilarious watching him work; when he was bored he'd start sorting through the proxy logs for suspect records, then he'd scan the local machines of anyone possibly offending. The things people looked at at work was shocking Point is though, the proxy stored who went where and when, cleaning up the history on your local machine was half measures.
