If you want to cover the tracks from your brother then just turn on CCleaner's built in secure deletion. It will remove all history from your computer and make them pretty much unrecoverable. You do this by going in CCleaner to options>settings>secure file deletion. (drag the box down to nsa or dod. Either one is good enough). That will cover your tracks if your brother decides to get creative and use a recover program like recuva to look at your history.
------------------
Now I'm not saying you are, but just in case you happen to be doing things like downloading music illegally, downloading porn, or whatever else will get you virus infected you should look here:

I get people all the time asking me to fix their pc with pornographic pop ups everywhere, yet they cleaned their history to try to hide it. That is one way I know they are lying.
(same goes for downloading illegally. If I see bearshear or limewire.. dont tell me you arent doing it. )Even if your not doing any of the stuff I just described you should look at that guide anyway because your pc will probably run better afterwards.

The other thing is that your bro could have installed parental control software on your computer. I've seen some that is so indepth that it will even email IM conversations after the program was closed to the parent's email. If your brother has put something like that on the computer there is pretty much no way to hide what you do. If your sure that he woudln't stoop that low then you should be fine as long as you do the things I mentioned above.
THANK YOU!!!!!

hmmmmm Sorry, TwistedMetal, but for once I beg to disagree. A skilled geek can always make his tracks VIRTUALLY nonrecoverable with a little knowledge and effort. Unless you are the CIA and plan to do a high tech, in depth surface scanning of my hard drive, I would defy you to undelete virtually any file that I choose to securely erase on my hard drive. And I do mean ANY file - 'protected' or not. As for those files that Windows 'protects', such as index.dat files, etc. - well, there is a simple solution for that too - it's called 'use a good old DOS based eraser at boot up.' Works like a charm and I assure you that no 'undelete utility' that I have ever tested was able to recover any of them... CIA, maybe, but 99.9999% of the rest of the people in the world with access to my PC - simply 'No way, Jose'... :-)
