I've done all of the usual clear history etc & run ad aware...

I've read about CCleaner, downloaded and run it...

Yet still when I open up IE, delete the URL from the address bar and press the down cursor key, I come up with a huge list of files and sites I have recently viewed. The list does not come up if I click the drop down list in IE, only when I delete the contents and click down.

Also, does not happen in Firefox.

No big security threat, it's just really annoying me that that I can't clear it.

Can you help?

surprised ccleaner isn't doing it's job? even clear history through tools>internet options should work... :p anyway, if you goto the content tab, click autocomplete and untick the first box, that should stop ie saving them in the first place. :)

Looks like this:
