Hello,\n\nThere are several ways.  You can just click inside the search box, push the down arrow so it will highlight the search term, then hit delete.  There are also some commerical programs that do stuff like that.  You might want to try adaware or spybot for free... www.pcworld.com  or you can buy spysweeper which is a great program www.webroot.com

If you are using Internet Explorer:\n\n1. Go to Tools - Internet Options\n2. In the "General" tab.  Click on the "Clear History" button.  Also set this 0 days to keep pages in history.\n3. Click on Delete Cookies button (deletes cookies in cache)\n4. Click on the Delete Files button (this deletes the html pages and images you download that Internet Explorer saves when you visit a page.) \n5. Go to the "Content" tab and click "AutoComplete"\n6. Uncheck "Web Addresses", "Forms" and "User Names and Passwords on Forms".\n7. Click on "Clear Forms" & "Clear Passwords"\n8. Click in the "Advanced" tab.\n9. Go to the Security section and check "Empty Temporary Internet Files Folder When Browser is Closed" (This essentially does steps 3 and 4 when you close your browser)\n\nThe above steps will prevent you from having to clean up afterwards.  I believe future versions of IE will have a one-button-do-the-whole-job thing.\n\nNow if you have Yahoo Toolbar with Internet Explorer:\n\n1. There is a pencil looking button to the left of the search box.  Click it.  \n2. Select Clear Recent Searches.  \n\nYahoo Toolbar should automatically clear this out when you close the browser but if you want it not to save recent recent searches, Click pencil button - "Toolbar Options" - Uncheck "Remember Recent Searches".
