well sometimes i go to 'dirty' websites.
and i delete the history after.
i have my own computer though.
and nobody else ever uses it but me.
but is there a way my parents can see the websites i visited say through the bill or something?
i reallllly hope not.
A general rule is that if someone can physically access access your computer, it is impossible to hide anything from them.
You can make it more difficult, though, by using CCleaner:
http://www.ccleaner.com/
These should be selected:
-Windows-
*Temporary Internet Files
*Cookies (This will log you out of all sites)
*History
*Recently Typed URLs
*Delete Index.dat files
*Recent Documents (if you downoaded anything)
*Other Explorer MRUs (if you downloaded anything)
*Thumnail cache (if you downloaded anything)
*Empty Recycle bin (if you downloaded anything)
*Temporary Files (if you downloaded anything)
*Clipboard
-Applications
*If you use a browser other than IE, select cookies, history, and cache.
*Any programs that you used for viewing porn, including your media player or image viewer
!!If Adobe Flash Player is selected, you will lose savegames and stats for online Flash games. Only select this if you don't play online games.
After that, you should also create a new system restore in start -> all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> system restore. Then delete all other system restores in start -> all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> disk cleanup -> "more options" tab -> bottom button.
To prevent any of the data you just deleted from being recovered, you can download Eraser and erase unused space. Only 1 pass is necessary:

Alternatively, defragmenting your computer will make it more difficult to recover data. That method is not as secure as using Eraser.
The websites you visit will not be on your bill. The bill would be hundreds of pages long, and it would be expensive to list it in a human-readable format.
To ensure almost complete privacy, you can run PortableFirefox from a Truecrypt volume:

It's a bit difficult to set up. Contact me if you need help.
