    You do know that odds are clearing the history on your work pc still wont erase the records for the IT guys? :P

    Dont give em you password, they can log onto your machine as themselves.
    They wont see your history then.

    Well you can turn off 'AutoComplete', Tools-Internet Options->AutoComplete and untick anything there.

    unfortunately i have already given them my password, and they do need to get into my computer when i am not here so even if i do change it i will have to give them my password anyway

    so does nobody know how i can get rid of the addresses coming up??

    Sounds kinda strange that if you cleared the history that it still shows up.
    Thats why i was trying to give alternative options btw.

    Back to them logging on. Just give them a separate logon to your pc.
    Change your password, create a new user for them and forward them the login details for the new account.

    Are you sure your not typing this into a Google Toolbar? Because Google uses it's indexed results to help with your search.

    Try typing in a website you've never visited and see if that comes up.
