I'm concerned about other people logging on to my computer (friends, family members, etc.) who may come across my web surfing history. I tend to always clear my history to prevent this but I was wondering if there was something more effective and quicker out there that may help me maintain my privacy. Also, can someone actually obtain my IP address if I have a firewall? What's a good firewall?
