Delete All Internet History Automatically with PC Confidential

Your AOL Instant Messenger chat logs aren’t the only place where your private data is being stored.

Every website you visit, picture you view, video you watch, online chat you have, and more is all being recorded in hidden files. With just a little effort, this information could be available to your spouse, your boss, your kids, or even a hacker trying to steal your identity!

Manually erasing these files each time you go online can be extremely time consuming and is not practical for most busy people. Plus, some of the hidden files that contain your sensitive data (like the locked index.dat) cannot be removed manually.
