    If you are concerned about privacy then your best approach would be a complete system rebuild.

    If it's simply internet history, then they are normally located in the internet options section of your browser.

    I think you are talking about search suggestions provided by search engine based on your search queries. There will be an option for you to turn off this suggestion no matter what browser you are currently using. Try right-clicking on the search bar on the browser and select turn off search suggestions.

    If it's a Toolbar, there may also be a listing for it in Add/Remove Programs. Uninstall the Toolbar in that case.

Delete links from search engine [ 1 Answers ]

I searched my name in a search engine and there are links that show up for social sites I once had accounts for. I have since deleted them a long time ago but the links are still there even though the lead to a page saying that the account has been deleted. What can I do to get rid of these?
