Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
First thing's first, if your stepmother is actually a computer genius, then she's likely to find out where you've been regardless of what you do, but unless she wants to spend lots of time stalking you, then the following should help.
on your internet browser.
Click tools > options > clear private data/delete history/delete cookies
then
start > accessories > system tools > disk cleanup
and remove all temporary files and internet files.
Don't forget though, that removing these files WILL CAUSE SUSPICION if she's checking up on you, as their absence could be just as bad.
If you want to learn how to just get rid of the myspace ones, then you'll have to google it.
Happy surfing :)

**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:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
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!
