If
an abuser knows how to read your computer's history or cache file
(automatically saved web pages and graphics), they may be able to
see information which you have recently viewed on the internet.
You
can clear your history or empty your cache file in your browser's
settings.
-
Internet
Explorer: Pull down Tools menu, select Internet Options. On
General page, under Temporary Internet Files, click on Delete
Files. Under History click on Clear History.
If
an abuser has access to your e-mail account, they may be able to
read your incoming and outgoing mail. If you believe your account
is secure, make sure you choose a password that an abuser will not
be able to guess.
If
an abuser sends you threatening or harassing e-mail messages, they
may be printed and saved as evidence of this abuse. The messages
may constitute an offence.This information may not completely hide
your tracks.
Many
browser types have features that display recently visited sites.
The safest way to find information on the net, would be at a local
library, a friend's house, or at work.
