You know in Google when you want to search something. For example "dog" and when you type the "d" it comes up with everything you ever typed or searched like "doors" or anything else with "d". It also if you just click in the search box and type nothing it shows everything you typed from A - Z, How do I:

1. Make it stop saving my searches.
2. Erase what I searched already.

Hi Steven.

Have you installed anything from Google (like that desktop search thing)?

If not, then it may be Internet Explorer's AutoComplete. Look at this link for information on turning it off.

Okay, then check out this link that explains how to clear and turn off AutoComplete in Firefox.

Regarding your email notifications: do you get any email notifications at all?

To check the settings: Please click on My Controls (upper right of the screen), then Email Settings (bottom left). Confirm that Email Notification by Default is checked and that Immediate Email Notification is in the drop-down box. Then click Change Email Address and confirm the address is correct.

Thanks it worked, and regarding the email notifications, I went to my hotmail "marked as unsafe mail senders" and for some reason geekstogo was there and i removed it and then I got a notification that you replied. Yay.

Thank you,

Steven
