i regularly use adaware to clean my machine
i ran a scan this morning and discovered an mru list, i know they are harmless and have already deleted them but i have never noticed an entry like this before. is someone tracing my movements on my pc?

please help as i am in a violent relationship and have visited some web sites to get help and information and i also keep an online diary i dont want him to see. i have deleted them from the history but im still worried he's gonna find out

mru= most recently used. In other words, folders and files that you have used on your pc, including zip utilities, media etc.

They are always there... Windows makes MRU's by default.... I've even built sample apps to read/edit/delete MRU Entries....
