staying safe online

CAUTION - If you share your computer with someone else and they use on-line banking for instance, if they have saved a password and you clear the cookies on your computer, they will realise that you have done so because their password will no longer be saved.  Also, they may notice that the address history on the computer has been cleared and this may raise suspicion.  So, after you have deleted all you want to delete from your computer, it might be an idea to log on to a website that you don’t mind others knowing that you have visited.
