    What browser are you using?

    You can download CCleaner. Install and run it. Dont use its registry cleaner feature.

    You can try out automatically removal of the browsed history, it's much more effective than the manual one as common user doesn't possibly knows what path he/she should type to reach the related history data files and try to remove them. And probably the best solution to clear history search is the application provided by company that detects the data files and removes them automatically without any user actions.

    Your computer tracks all activities you do while working on the computer or surfing the Internet. So, anyone who can access you computer is able to know your web surfing history (what web sites you visited, what you searched on the Internet, etc.), what images and videos you have seen, files you downloaded, documents and files you have just opened and many other stuffs.

    Some Internet history tracks can't be removed manually without special software as they are stored in different system areas and cannot be removed manually.

    To erase Internet history from your PC, you should:

    1) Erase history of visited sites

    2) Erase search history

    3) Erase autocomplete

    4) Erase Internet cache

    5) Erase Internet cookies

    You may erase Internet history tracks manually but unfortunately Internet history tracks are kept in different places on your PC and even if you successfully erase Internet history files manually there are some Internet history files that can't be deleted without special software.

    Download a program called ControlHistory from controlhistory its a good program that clears the browser's history(IE, Chrome, Mozilla, Registry files, and GoogleDesktop etc.), temporary files, etc. and more.

    its a good program and it does help boost the pc's performance as well. hope the program works for you.
