When using Internet Explorer on a computer which doesn’t belong to you, there can be cause for concern with respect to the personal information which can be left behind. For instance, imagine using a computer at the business center of a hotel to check your email or bank balance. Once your time at the computer is complete, how can you make sure that there is no personal, private information a snooping techie could acquire? With Internet Explorer 6, you would need to go through several steps in order to erase your tracks. While it can be done with confidence, the need for multiple steps results in a higher possibility of errors or omissions. The next version of Internet Explorer, IE7, allows the user to remove all traces of their browsing experience with a single button. Look for IE7 to become available at the time of the Vista launch later this year. |
