Hi guys am totally brand new to the mac world and am a complete convert. No dooubt this has been covered before but I wish to find out more about deleted internet history (i have a mac book pro using safari). I know on a PC deleted history is stored on an index.dat file...........Is this the same as a Mac? I wish to permanently erase all traces of my internet history on my computer that I have already deleted and that is stored hidden in the harddrive. Is this possible to do so and if so please let me know how I can do this. The only internet answer I can find to this is 'reset safari' but im assuming this is not enough ................... I dont want work to find out I have been using file sharing websites. please help asap!
