Yeah. I googled both emails I have this and my family and friends e-mail. And on both emails I can see places like VT and other sensitive material from websites i've been to, on the google search results. How can I remove them from google please!

Change your username to something more common.

no it's not my username. it's my email. everything i've been doing with both email accounts have been tracked by google. and now the sensitive info is on their result page.

Well create a separate email address for VT that cannot be identified by anyone

Install "Ghostery" on Firefox, which blocks Google Analytics and that type of stuff.

If you use something very specific, i.e. "jinjaninja1992" as the prefix of your emails/usernames on websites, it's easier to find you on Google, the solution is to use different emails and different usernames on websites. If you can don't use a word with a set of numbers next to it, but a unique word and always hide your email on websites too.

I have this problem with a small, but made-up word I use in my emails/on other websites. For the most part, I'm not easily stalked, but I checked the other day and my account on a popular forum is the first thing which comes up; which I presume this is because it has got lots and lots of hits as I post regularly, along with my account on another forum, posts on websites, and my account on an online game I used to play. Due to some history with things like this it worries me a bit, but since nothing has happened, I don't guess anyone is interested enough and I don't share much details besides MSN/Facebook with people in real-life. I guess sometimes I end up choosing convenience over security.
:P

Well the funny thing is, the other day I requested the search result (another forum that i didn't want parents to see) to be taken down. well today i found out my dad decided to google my old username, luckily that site i wanted down was down. i breathed a great sigh of relief.
