Hi Gludion,

CCleaner is intended to delete temporary or work files, etc, so it is not really the right tool to scrub your pc of all traces of your surfing. It does a good job with secure deletion, enough to deter the casual observer, but is is possible that there will be some traces left of your web activity which a techie could uncover. You could try a disk free-space washer such as Eraser (but I have had no practical experience of using these).

In time your web activity will be overwritten, so I would surf some less harmful sites and don't run CC, in the hope that your disk will fill up with clean activity.

I know no way of removing the pc on/off times. They are held in the event log and no doubt in other system files. Perhaps someone knows how to clean these logs, but I don't think it will be easy.

Hi

Your I.S.P. probably holds a record of every web-site you visit, especially if the I.S.P. and Phorm have a partnership.
Your I.S.P. probably also records every time you connect on and off the internet.

Alan
