    Can anyone recommend someone who could retrieve deleted history from my computer? I don't want to bring it into a shop and I really need to get dates, times websites were accessed. Thanks

    The only simple way of doing this is to go into system restore and restore the computer to an earlier restoration point. There are more other conclusive ways of doing it but unfortunately none of them simple.

    Thank you so much for your message. I am totally hopeless when it comes to computers so would you mind explaining (in idiot's terms) how I go about doing what you suggested? If I can't get to the information I am looking for that way can you recommend anyone who could help me?

    well it depends on what exactly your looking for

    how long ago, how did the information get deleted?

    some methods are destructive when it comes to terms of data recovery

    Some of it was deleted on Wednesday or early Thursday morning

    Chances are then that quite a bit 'should' be recoverable if the computer hasn't been used to much.
    There are numerous data recovery programs available on the internet that are reasonably user friendly (some of them free).

    However if you're not overly confident with computers it may be best to get someone who is.

    that's a somewhat contentious area and without knowing what and why you're looking for you may find people somewhat reluctant to help you (I sure would be).

    The only thing that can be said for certain is that items in browser history have been displayed.
