Removing Internet History Programs

We are going to be giving our old PC to one of my OH's friends and I want to remove the internet history (not because I have been looking at naughty things either)

Are there any good free programs people can recommend or isnt it really that possible?

Thanks

    More importantly ~ youd better make sure all saved passwords are removed
    :idea:
  • CCleaner will do everything just click on all the relevant boxes.
    You can't keep a good man down...
  • Excellent information

    I will have a look at the program and also great tip on the Internet passwords, had forgotten that one

    include clearing index.dat files - which CCleaner says it can do, or use the Secure Shredder in Spybot S&D to do it (you can't just find and delete them yourself like other files)
