Click on the Google logo next to the Google Toolbar's search box, then choose "Clear Search History" from the drop-down box that appears. You May need to right click it.

I find it best to have the settings auto delete after firefox closes. Also, make sure to set your cache to 0 KB and the history to 0 days.

Oh that's quite easy

In IE...

Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Browsing History - Delete/Form Data - Delete/Close/Ok

In IE7 you can shortcut to it with just

Tools/Delete Browsing History

Also if want to avert that in the future...

Tools/Internet Options/Content Tab/Autocomplete - Settings/uncheck forms/Ok/Ok

edit: My bad dude. That's all IE7 only.

In IE6..

Tools/Internet Options/Content Tab/Personal Information - Autocomplete/Clear Autocomplete History - Clear Forms/Yes/Ok/Ok/Ok

At the top of th same page is the option for whether you want to use Autocomplete for forms as well.

A word of caution....if your computer is on a network, they can get the information anyway though it'll be more trouble.

make sure to set your cache to 0 KB

terrible idea. This means everytime you refresh a page it has to pull the images from the server again wasting bandwidth and time.

Just install window washer, only two clicks

it does everything else at the same time :)

Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or AOL. The software also detects and offers custom cleaning plug-ins for other programs installed, including iTunes, the Google Toolbar and ZoneAlarm

Privacy eraser Pro does the job well.
