[Cleaning Address Entries]

I have deleted my Google toolbar but the addresses still show up if I turn Autocomplete back on. Maybe CCleaner didn't work because I'm not using the right version of IE. How do I tell which version I'm using?

 

 

 

Could this be where they're coming from?

 

Toolbars save information like history, autofill, bookmarks.

 

Even if you do use a toolbar, I can't see it affecting the IE address bar.

Hi,

Actually, I did view each item in our Favorites file to determine if any of them might be linked to the unwanted addresses, but that didn't seem to be the case. I don't think our nephew would have put any of the websites he visited in our Favorites anyway. Some of the addresses are clearly the result of Google searches but it's hard to tell where they might be in our favorites. Perplexing.

You may want to look through your favorites and delete the ones you don't want.

 

Your very welcome.

Hay Jamin4u,

Thanks for the great (and easy) suggestion! Changed my Auto Complete Settings this a.m. and those embarassing addresses are now gone ... or at least they don't show up!

Appreciate your help.

CCleaner does its job cleaning history in Internet Explorer 7.

 

The only addresses showing on the address line when certain letters are entered are in my favorites.

 

If you have many favorites, you can right click on anyone and click sort by name.

 

Find the ones you don't want, right click and delete them.

 

You can turn off Auto Complete by doing the following.

 

Open IE click on Tools > Internet options > Content > Auto complete Settings

 

De-select Web addresses only, or all of them if you want then click OK.

 

Good Luck!

Hi,

Several months ago, a nephew visited for several weeks. Apparently, he accessed a number of 'adult' sites on our computer. Since then ... despite repeated attempts to Clear History ... we have encountered a number of embarassing addresses showing on the address line when certain letters are entered. We recently downloaded CCleaner in the hopes that it would eliminate those addresses, but it hasn't. Any suggestions?

P.S. The items are not in our "favorites' (as far as we know).
