    Question Erase and Install?

    Ok, but I need to see my search history gone as an indicator that everything else worked, like all the Trojans or Keyloggers or whatever were taken care of. I'll find out with a fresh install. If I switch to a local account and the history is gone, I will be confident it all worked. I don't...
