Address bar deletions

[Corey]

Quick question...I had someone over to my house who was
looking at questionable material using internet
explorer. Now, although I have delted the history and
temporary internet files, when I type in "www.h" it still
pulls up all of the questionable sights he viewed. I am
wondering how I can delete this from my address bar so
that my kids don't accidentally come across one of these
web pages.

Thanks for your help!!!

Corey,
This URL is "stuck" in the History folder or it's index.dat file.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

It might also be a good idea to run Ad-aware from

Then see security tips and other useful information at
