    Tools, Internet Options, delete Browsing History, All, or download and install CCleaner when installing remove the tick from install Yahoo Toolbar, It was reccomended to me about 3months ago and its a neat little program.

    If you have a google toolbar you click on the drop down menu in the search box, and the clear history button is at the bottom. This then clears the google page too I think.
    Am not witty enough to put something cool and informative here:o :o

    Yes the google toolbar will do that but I would reccomend removing toolbars as they are a form of spyware and can cause no end of problems. :)
