Im not supposed to be on MySpace,

**Edit: get into safe mode by restarting the computer, and holding F8 as soon as the computer starts.**
Browser history can't be easily recovered after it's been deleted, but there are a few ways.
System restore will restore history. To delete restores, first make a new restore point(start>programs>accessories>system tools>restore). Then go to start, all programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup. Then the "more options" tab. Clear restores.
It's possible to recover the cache after it's been deleted, which would show things like the myspace logo. To permanently delete that, clear it in whatever browser you use(same place as history in IE), then install this:
http://www.fileshredder.org/
and "shred free disk space". Use the least amount of passes, 1 will be enough(I think it defaults to 3).
Even more unknown are index.dat files, which are hard to delete and contain all of your history and cookie info. To delete these, boot into safe mode, search for index.dat (include hidden and system files in the advanced search section), and delete them. Good luck!
