umm i really dont think that there should be a tutorial on how to erase your history cause mostly everyone who uses a computer daily knows how to clean there history.

Even a window washer could do the job for you. I think it is better to use a software and schedule the cleaning settings.

I would have to agree with street on something that is common knowledge to most everyone, however, you get the occasional noobie computer user and so it still has it's purposes for those using a computer for the first time.
