I was surprised as I was paying an item I bought from the internet and found the computer has remembered my card details. As soon as I input the first number, my credit number is already there including the security code. This is really concerned me although I was on the checkout secure website. Should I be worried and what should I do to make sure the computer does not save my credit card details!! Thanks

Internet Explorer does save passwords, usernames etc but this can be switched off by going into Tools, Internet Options, Content and clicking on Personal Information then go to the autocomplete section.
It may not be IE that's stored the card details though so you should find out what did and remove them.0 -
are you sure you didnt tick a box to remember your card details next time you shopped at that company0
