Advanced:Cache

(Cyber Patrol for Macintosh only)

Set up your browser's cache to be cleared regularly by Cyber Patrol, so that information you recently accessed is no longer stored on your computer where others might see it.


Cache

Some Internet browsers save the most recently accessed Web pages in a cache in your computer's memory, hard disk, or both. Before you start using Cyber Patrol, and anytime you change Cyber Patrol's settings, this local cache--both disk and memory--should be cleared. This prevents others from reading possibly offensive material from the cache.

You can set up Cyber Patrol to automatically clear local cache. You specify directories where cache is stored for the browsers you use, and set up Cyber Patrol to regularly empty the cache in those directories.


How to empty cache

To have Cyber Patrol clear local cache:

  1. In Advanced:Cache, check the Empty Browser Cache box.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the next view, select the directory containing the cache. The directory will usually be called either Cache or Temporary Files.
  4. Click Select. You return to Advanced:Cache.
  5. Click Save.
