Internet History Eraser Software: What Does it Do?
As you use your computer, it is silently recording everything you do. This includes every email you read or write, every website you visit, every document you open and every picture you view. It’s all there on your computer for anyone to see.
Even if you delete files from your computer (and empty your recycle bin), or your clear your Internet browser history or delete computer cache, the files are still easy to recover for practically anyone. This means your spouse, parents, children, employer, employees or law enforcement can find data you thought was gone forever.
