bcguy42 38594 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 If you are getting into this and care not to share this information with others in your life, here are a couple of important things. Don't leave cookies or history. Chrome browser makes it very easy to delete your cookies and history every time you finish a CERB session. If you use Internet Explorer you will find it under Internet Options. CCleaner. Free software available here. Install it and run it after every session. It quickly cleans temporary Internet files, cookies, history, and caches in both Internet Explorer and Firefox at the same time, as well as empties your Recycle Bin and rids your computer of Windows log files. Occasionally run the command %temp% (with XP, click on Start, click on Run, enter %temp%, click OK. The Windows 7 Run command is similar). Delete all the files that show up. They are temporary files you do not need. A few files may not delete. Don't worry about them. "Find My Friends" phone app. Don't. If someone wants you to have it, turn it off when making a visit or be prepared with a good story for why you were at XX address for YY time. If you have a Blackberry, Google Latitude or the EchoEcho app provide the same function. If you get a separate phone for this hobby, ignore this one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 All good advice. Except... "Find My Friends" phone app. Don't. If someone wants you to have it, turn it off when making a visit or be prepared with a good story for why you were at XX address for YY time. If you have a Blackberry, Google Latitude or the EchoEcho app provide the same function. If you get a separate phone for this hobby, ignore this one. Never mind turning off the app... when you're going to spend time with someone, turn off your whole damn phone! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 Always delete browsing history. I'm single, the only other person in my place is my cat, and I delete the browsing history every time. Not to mention password protect your computer RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank7 3939 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 Carefull though. Outright deleting history can be just as suspicious. Specialy if you share the computer and the other person can't seem to find back some of his/her sites. Had that problem once when i was deleting history to hide that i watched porn sites. =p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest N***he**Ont**y Report post Posted December 6, 2012 Always delete browsing history. I'm single, the only other person in my place is my cat, and I delete the browsing history every time. Not to mention password protect your computer RG Perhaps you better hide your browsing history from your cat as well. Dont want to give it the wrong idea s about Tom Catting!

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 On browser history, caches, etc: browsers can be set up to automatically delete these things when they're closed. This has two advantages: you don't have to remember to do it (and therefore can't forget); and since it happens all the time, it's not suspicious.

Athos 108589 Report post Posted December 10, 2012 go into private browsing before accessing your favourite sites. Then no record should be kept. Just remember to exit private browsing when you're done. Porthos 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bendinthroad 100 Report post Posted December 28, 2012 Install a second browser! Firefox is my main browser and so I use IE7 for anything "personal". that way I can quickly clear history leaving anything I don't care about for all to see on Firefox. Mercury is also a good browser to have on the iPhone that most people would overlook if they went through your phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spud271 47779 Report post Posted January 4, 2013 Chrome Incognito would definitely do the trick. Would help prevent any "accidents" from happening!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest *****gr Report post Posted January 6, 2013 Question for a first timer here. I am curious as to what practices others use in regards to wallet/cellphone when the only method of transportation.. is public transport? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
