paul_s Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi all - first time posting on here so forgive me if this topic has been covered before I have used CC Cleaner regularly but recently installed the new version of Firefox with Private Browsing. If I turn on Private Browsing, is there any point in then running CC Cleaner? Do we know if Private Browsing leaves anything on my PC which CC Cleaner can then erase? Basically I hate the idea of leaving footprints all over my PC of where I've been and want to ensure that it's as clean as possible.

Even in private browsing on older versions of ff, traces are still left. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Thanks for your reply I'm using the latest version of Firefox with the following ticked in CC Cleaner: - Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files Cookies History Recently Typed URL's Index.dat files Last Downloaded Location - Windows Explorer Recent Documents Run (in Start Menu) Search Autocomplete Other Explorer MRU's - System Empty Recycle Bin Temporary Files Clipboard Memory Dumps Chkdsk File Fragments Windows Log Files Using Secure Deletion Simple Overwrite (1 Pass) Is this enough? If not what else do I need to do? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ident Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I dont need any of that information im a fraid. I said ff still leaves/use to leave traces even in pb. A bout a year ago we had a real dig deep into ff and found a lot of traces in one of the sqlite files in ff. We was in PB mode. I doubt even a nosie boss would of found it though. Basic summery for you, PB mode in ff (going by older versions as never checked into newer ones) would stop 99.9% of bosses/family even knowing where you was surfing No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've Googled it but most sites are full of techno-babble and not really easy to understand. I'd just like to know what they are, what they do and where they can be found!

TheWebAtom Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 .sqlite files are basically databases, chocked full of information such as cookies, history etc. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
