Question about history??

chloesmum08 · 10-10-2008, 08:51 PM

I was just wondering if it is possible for the history to clear itself with out warning even when its not set to do so or does it have to be cleared manually via tools? Is there a glitch or virus that would cause this?

there are security utilities out there that will clear your history. In addition, in firefox, under tools - options - private data tab, you can set it to auto delete your history at every browser close.

yes - some registry, antispyware, antivirus and other security utilities will delete your history.
