Useful Domestic Violence Contacts

Advice. If you are suffering domestic violence and think that your attacker may check your internet activity, use a friend's computer or go to the public library or an internet cafe. It is possible to clear your history pages by going to Internet Options but it is difficult to remove all records and we would strongly advise you to use another computer if you are at all worried.
