Clearing Your Internet Browsing History

Use a safer computer. If anyone abusive has access to your computer he/she might be monitoring your computer activities. Try to use a safer computer when you look for help, a new place to live, etc. it may be safest to use a computer at a public library, community center, or internet café.

Change passwords and pin numbers. Some abusers use victim’s email and other accounts to impersonate and cause harm. If anyone abusive knows or could guess your passwords, change them quickly and frequently. Think about any password protected accounts – online banking, voicemail, etc.
