History and cache file
If an abuser knows how to read your computer's history or cache file (automatically saved web pages and graphics), he or she may be able to see information you have viewed recently on the internet.
Some new internet browsers have built-in tools that allow you to view internet pages without registering these pages in your history or cache file, this keeps other people who might be using the computer from seeing what sites you have visited on the internet.
