Eliminating Internet Evidence
Leave no trace of your visit
Most Internet browsers remember the web sites you’ve visited as a convenience to the people who use them. However this is a potentially dangerous situation for victims of domestic violence. If there is a possibility that your spouse will be upset that you have visited this site you should follow these steps to eliminate all traces of your visit:

Internet Explorer

1.	Select the "Tools" button from the tool bar at the top of the page
2.	Choose "Internet Options" from the bottom of the list
3.	Under the "General" tab under the "Temporary Internet Files" heading, click the "Delete Files" button
4.	A dialogue box will appear that says "Delete all files in the Temporary Internet files" select OK (you are also given the option to select a check box that will delete all off-line content—you should check this too.)
5.	This will clear your cache, deleting the sites you have visited from your locally stored memory
6.	On the same page under the "History" heading, click on the "Clear History" button.
7.	A dialogue box will appear that asks "Are you sure you want Windows to delete your history of visited web sites?" Choose "Yes."
8.	Clearing your history deletes the list of site addresses for the pages that were stored in your cache
