6. Why the some browser history still there after erasing?
   It is strongly recommended that you shutdown all the programs that you want to erase, because some tracks can not be erased when these programs are running. For MSN, AOL and Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, even you close all the windows of them, maybe their icons still on the system tray (lower right of the screen). Please check the system tray (lower right of your screen) to see if there is an icon of them, if you can find, you need to right click on it and close it before cleaning.
