No idea what you mean. Is there lots of crap there, such as "free cash", etc? If so, its malware. Adaware, or spybot should be able to get rid of this for you. Otherwise, post up a screenshot of what you want taken off.

I think I know what he means.. On my pc anyway if I clear the history that's grand. But then on the scroll bar to type an address in, sometimes the history's sites come up.. If that makes sense to anyone..

I.e. S/He wants to hide all the pr0n/war3z sites s/he has been to.

Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Autocomplete ->"Clear forms"

Also delete the history as well.

In firefox click on the Tools option along the top, in the dropdown list click on Options

Click on the Privacy button on the left then click on Clear All at the bottom. That should do it.

In Firefox do like Odie said but also in 'History' enter 0 instead of the default 9 days. Firefox will never show any previously typed urls in the address bar if you do this.

If your using Windows XP

Clearing the History on the Address Bar.

Go to:
Start > Right click on internet properties > General (Tab) in the Temporary internet files > Delete Cookies > Delete Files > Clear History

That should do the trick Warning if you do ALL this your Internet History will be gone forever, "So" Do it at your own Risk
