> I am fairly new to the pc world. I need direction on some questions I
have. My first question is with Outlook Express. If you are using this, is
there a way to scrammble all your temp files, cookies, instant messaging,
and all other related internet usage?

Cookies are stored in the Cookies folder. No scrambling is done there.
The Temporary Internet Files folder has a unique name that is unique to your
computer. No need to scamble there.
Temp files are not scrambled as well.

Best thing to do is get something like Windows Washer and let it delete
those files for you.

>My second question does Outlook look or scan for programs that track and
monitor your activity? Like pcbloodhound. Thanks

No. It's just a mail and news client only.
