    If using IE then click Tools > Interent Options > Content > Autocomplete and untick Web Addresses.

    May also need to close IE and Re-Open as well as deleting all cookies and temp internet files.

    Well...I don't want my business and interests made public for all the world to see, there are a few people out there who know my handle from other forums, some of which I like to be discrete about, and my posts from those forums can be googled as well and I am just a little uncomfortable about that!

    Sadly there is nothing you can do as all search engines and not just Google spider all websites, forums and blogs, so even if you could remove the data on you from Googles database you woudl then have 20+ more Search companies to approach and I dont fancy your chances of them removing the data on you and your posts/info.

    Its a fact of the internet that information is freely available and indexed, if you didnt want it to be then only way is dont use the internet, but too late now.
