When working on a public or shared computer, it is necessary to clear the computer's "cache" (temporary memory) after you Sign Off in order to prevent others from viewing confidential information after you leave the machine. The steps are different depending on the browser you are using.

For Internet Explorer 7.0
		From the Tools menu select Internet Options.
		Click on the General tab at the top if not already there.
		Click on the Delete button. You will then be able to choose what information you wish to delete. (ex. Temporary Internet Files) The safest option is "Delete all.." You will then have to confirm your selection.
		Click OK to close the Internet Options window and return to where you were.
		Close Internet Explorer.
For Mozilla Firefox 3.X
		Under the Tools menu.. select "Clear Private Data.."
		Place a checkmark beside the option you wish to delete by clicking inside the appropriate box. (Make sure that "Cache" is selected.)
		Click "Clear Private Data Now"
		Exit (close) Firefox
