Check out the many Freeware options at snapfiles.com. Go specifically to the Security-Privacy section. I use the Free Internet Eraser program and it does a good job. I'm sure there are others that work just as well or better if you look around.
The best way is to format the hard drive which will erase ALL information permanetly. I have sold my old computers before, but I remove the hard drive and sell it without one to be certain that some smart person will not be able to recover any personal stuff. Use one or the other method, but just don't delete with a program. They can be recovered.
At the top of your internet browser click tools then click delete browsing history and then click delete all it will delete all of your internet history.
Get the DOD WIPE and then reinstall the OS. No sense in leaving something behind by accident.

Can't you go into Internet Explorer under the options tab and clear all internet history, cookies and temp. files? That is what I usually do. Then no passwords or anything else will come up and all internet history is gone. Unless you want to clean the harddrive due to questionable activity, then you will need to purchase a program or another harddrive and reload.
If your computer has a restore partition (when you boot, it says something like "press f2 to begin restore") or restore disks, you can just re-set the computer to it's original configuration.
Try Eraser

First, go into your browser and erase your history, cache, and etc. It can write over your drive with 32 layers of random data.



If you want to nuke the whole hard drive try Darin's Nuke Disk
