Re: not logging out and closing browser?
***However, what happens if you (accidentally) just "X" out the browser without logging out***
Simply put..when that happens you just did not log-out of the website......eventually, the website will "time-you-out".....and you then will be loged-out, or, you can return to the website and re-login....at that point you may be advised that you are already loged-in and be offer some options.
A serious mis-leading is that many people think that by just X'ing out of a secure website the browser information disappears...this is not so....the information actually is still on your computer for those with the knowledge to recover it. Its not difficult to actually remove the information, however, it does require a few extra steps......which is an entirely "another subject"......but you could use CCleaner to clear most of the information...easily...if you are new to computers do not use the Registry Feature in CCleaner...it could possible cause harm to your computer if it deletes needed "stuff".
Hope this helps. |
