Is there a relatively simple way to REALLY COMPLETELY clean my web history?
Have been using Cyberscrub and like programs thinking my web tracks were being cleared. Installed Google desktop and to my dismay, I realized every URL I have ever visited is still available (with a copy of the page). The google desktop search web history status tells me there are over 4000 entries somewhere on my computer available for search. I have downloaded several "trial" programs that all give me the same results; they all tell me the history has been cleared but I can then go and do a google desktop search, it pulls up the url and a copy of the page that I just visited prior to running the so-call eraser program.
Any suggestions?

Hi John_Emory,

Just a suggestion. You need to index using google desktop again and see if it lists again.
In the previous suggestion ,it would have done those entries.
close desktop search , open it again , let it do the full indexing and then search and see.
PLEASE DONOT ACCEPT MY COMMENT AS AN ANSWER. IT WAS JUST A SUGGESTION HERE.
