I have the habit of turn off the history option of my pc because I don't want other person to see what I am doing in my computer whether it is of my relative or other. What do u think is it good to keep the history option off? Or u delete ur history every time u leave your computer.

Hi there,I totally understand your not wanting anybody snooping on your browsing history and i too feel dread at the thought of somebody reading through my history,Not that i have anything to hide of course,Lol.That said i tend to leave my history though,I just prefer to have the history full up as it makes it so much easier to re-trace your tracks finding that site you cant remember the url of

Well I bookmark every site which I though that it is important to me and have to re-visit it. U must be single user of ur pc as u don't delete ur history but I am not alone to use my home pc.

i clear it every couple of days because keeping history and the cookies on your computer are not really all that healthy for your memory of your pc. my hubby is a computor guru and this is what he tells me.

I am the only user of my PC and it has a password too so I really don't worry about someone sneaking in to see what I'm up to my computer or in the internet (or am I into those not to mention websites, not really). I don't delete the history of my browser because I don't see any problem of not deleting them, but I think it's a good routine once in a while. It can free up some space in the hard drive.

Yes deleting history free some space on hard disk and as I don't password protect my account it is easy for other to see my activity.

Hey, I usually delete my history and cookies once every 3 days or whenever I remember that I have to. It is good to do this so it wont slow down your computer and cause your computers memory to get used up. Hope this helps, happy Lotting!

Yes!it is always wise and safe to keep your history unknown to others.So I always use to clean all my private datas from my computer when I daily shut my computer off for that day.It also speeds up your computer as well.Cheers!

HI, I myself never delete the history simply because I find it very useful, but I am the only user of my pc. Best option if you have concerns for your privacy is to create a password account for your only use. What do you think? Alex

Well u are the single user of pc that is why u keep the history option on and creating a password is a simple and great way to protect urself from other eyes.

I share the PC I am on and if I don't want people seeing my history, I will delete it after I've finished. History is always on though.
