1. A computer-implemented method for providing security to a remote computer over a network browser interface, comprising:
- selectively securely erasing a file associated with the remote computer, such that data associated with the file is substantially unrecoverable;
selectively scanning the remote computer to determine whether a monitoring application is present on the remote computer; and
selectively clearing activities of a user of the remote computer, such that the activities are substantially undeterminable, wherein downloading software onto the remote computer is avoided.

14. A computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions for performing a method comprising:
-
providing a web site by which a user of the remote computer accesses a security application associated with a server, wherein the security application provides security to a remote computer over a network browser interface;
securely erasing a file associated with the remote computer when a secure erasing option that is associated with the security application is selected, such that data associated with the file is substantially unrecoverable;
scanning the remote computer to determine whether a monitoring application is present on the remote computer when a security scanning option that is associated with the security application is selected; and
clearing activities of the user of the remote computer when an activity clearing option that is associated with the security application is selected, such that the activities are substantially undeterminable by another utility, wherein downloading software onto the remote computer is avoided. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
