Clear Browser Cache

Cache pronounced (cash) is a piece of memory that stores information, for fast retrieval. It stores pieces of information, web page, software that was last accessed or used. It is therefore, for your own security, that if you accessed your bank details that you clear you cache before accessing any other web pages which could have malicious soft ware attached and could access your cache and extract details from you computer.

If you think it is too much hassle to clear your own cache, then I suggest you have a look at, "Window washer," this will do it for you automatically. Window washer is a piece of software that you can get from webroot.com.
