Clearing Internet History?

Question

When I clear my internet history, the "url toolbar" and "pages that I visited today" will have nothing in it.

However, when I type an alphabet into the url, there is a website address that I visited in the past. But I have cleared the history, so why is it still like that?

Answer 1

Um  ... it does delete all your recently visited websites but you need to clear your temporary internet files also not just your history.

Answer 2

Maybe you have a toolbar helper like google or yahoo or something of that sort.

Answer 3

Have you tried cleaning up the cache and cookies as well? That should work.
