I use Internet Explorer as my web access for my business. We are in
sales and we all work on commisions here based on the leads we
generate. So privacy is very important. Computer access is shared
among employees. My search procedure is that I usually just go to
google or dogpile and type in the word of the site I'm looking for and
when I'm shown a list I click on it and it takes me there. There is
never a record of the visit stored on Google so I always felt that
this is a secure way to search. However, I just noticed that most
computers keeps a running memory of which sites have been visited in
the address bar. I noticed this quite by accident when attempting to
type an address in the address bar and as soon as I typed so much as
www, a list of things came up. Further, if I type www.s for instance
every site beginning with s that has been visited comes up. I've gone
into Internet options and deleted cookies and offline content. The
addresses remained until I cleared history. However that clears
everything else as well. What I am asking is this. If I go to a
computer that has an existing history on it and I visit a site, can I
make it so that there is no record of my visit yet retain all the
existing sites in the computer's history? This is very important to
me as the security of my job may depend on it. Thanks, John.

It's unfortunate that most browsers are 'all or nothing' when it comes
to saving or removing cookies, history and stuff. We need a 'suspend'
saving cookies and history and stuff.

Yeah, it's called "private browsing" in Safari. Still using a PC? That's
all right, Apple makes a version of Safari for PC's, too, and it's twice
as fast as IE, and better looking, of course. Download it free at the
Apple website.

The history is usually maintained on a 'per user' basis.
If each user logs in with a separate userid and password, your history (and
settings) should be separate from other users.
Just be sure you log in as a different user and clearing your history
should have no effect on the 'main owner' of the system.

It may be worthwhile to set up a domain controller and assign each user an
id on the domain, allowing domain users to log into any machine.
All user information can even be stored on the domain controller.

It sounds like you need for someone to come in and set up your network for
you so that various options and hazards are properly weighed.

Your company also needs to be aware of legal liabilities associated with
storing and sharing clients data.

It is very difficult to erase completely visits to the porn sites you
are visiting...

Can't you install Firefox on a USB thumb drive and run it from there
with your own settings and history?

If you are comfortable with modifying the registry -
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
This is where your typed urls are stored in W98, don't know about other
operating systems. You can delete any of these keys.

Use any search engine other than Google till they stop polluting USENET
with porn and junk commercial SPAM

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in
your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm

All of the internet providers and including the search engine companies in
most countries, by law must keep a running log of all the activity that is
used through their systems. With a warrant issued from the courts it is
possible to obtain a requested record of any user's activities.

As for corporate networks, they keep a profile of each user. For security
reasons, they keep a running record in each profile of all the activity of
the users. Deleting the history in your local browser does not in any way
delete the actual records of your activities through the company network, or
with their internet provider, or with the search engines that the user has
used.

In our company we had a user that was doing excessive porn browsing. The
server's user logs showed his history of activities. There was no need to
even look at his PC computer.

I have no idea of the policy of the company where you work. Many companies
allow users to use the internet for personal use during their break time,
providing that they do not do illegal activity, abuse usage, or use porno
sites.

Most corporations do not allow users to install any unauthorized software on
to their computers. The users normally have a very basic access with no
rights to be allowed to install any kind of software. They must call IT
support for installations and modifications.

If you had two separate browser installations you could use one for
logging and the other set for delete all cookies and history on exit.
You could add Firefox, Opera or Seamonkey browsers and set them to
delete everything on exit.

Is there a certain level of porn browsing that's acceptable, then? Say,
less than 3 hours per day on company time is OK, but no more than that?

I've never worked anywhere like that, we've always had full admin access
over our own PC's, but perhaps things are different outside the tech
industry.

More than likely your browsing history is stored on the server and the
history on your pc is irrelevant. You really should know better than to look
at porn or whatever else may jeopardize your job while at work. Many people
have been fired for this. One of the first things they tell you these days
in school is NEVER use company computers for personal business, even if they
say you can during your breaks. You have no privacy rights when using a
company computer and they can monitor what you do. I'm sure that they have a
policy somewhere that you can read that will tell you all about computer
usage.
