What Xen said.

If you're browsing sensitive sites, then IE is not the one to use - records of your browsing are kept in numerous and obscure locations on your computer.

Both Firefox and Opera store history and cache in easily deletable areas. Opera has an incredibly detailed "delete private data" dialogue that will allow you to completely tailor your clean-up.

From a security point of view - if these particular sites are those that have more adult content on them, they are often extremely malicious and many imbed nasty tricks in them to catch Internet Explorer users and install software without their permission (eg trojans and keyloggers). In my many days of cleaning up Windows computers at university, browsing sensitive sites with IE was the number one cause of their problems!

Switch!
