Answer 1

You could also download and install picasa and in 1 click it will find every single picture on any partition on every hard drive you may have in your computer. You can then delete them.

Answer 2

Go to your explorer folders, do a search for any normal picture file and then delete the pictues. You do this by doing a search such as: *.gif, *.jpg, or *.bmp Those are the three most common picture types. Hope this helps! As far as further protection in the future, set strict filters on your browser and possibly get software to help filter adult pictures. Also, if you have XP, put a password on your computer and don't let they person use your computer anymore.

Answer 3

They have to be picture files, so they may be jpeg, gif or (not as likely) bitmap. The way you could look them up (besides going through all your files) is to get "Download Manager" on the screen. You may be able to do this by going to "Tools" and clicking on it. Another way to get Download Manager is to find a free wallpaper online, download that, and Download Manager will come up.

One thing: If whoever put the pictures on deleted the name of the file on Download Manager, you won't be able to find them.

Anyway, get Download Manager on the screen. Look on the list on the dates that you think the pictures were downloaded, and then look to see where the files are. If you're not sure what they are you'll have to then go to where they are and open them.

___________
If you don't see them in Download Manager then you'll have to go to Explorer and start looking for all the image files. You'll recognize many of your own image files probably. You'll have to go through the D,E and F drives to start. Then you may have to look through Windows. Then you could look through System files. Just remember you're only looking for image files.

There may be an easier way, but this is the only way I can think of right now. The best thing would be if they still are shown on Download Manager.

Answer 4

You have several options. Among them the best option is to view and delete.
Go to search in start up programmes and search for files as
a) *.jpg
b) *.bmp
c) *.gif
d) *.jpeg

Then view the files and delete the unnecessary ones.

Another way is to download "Irfanview" freeware from the internet. Then you can straight away open the different categories of pictures using its "file open" option. Once one picture is open, then you can move to the next picture file using the -> (right or left arrow mark) icon. If you see an unwanted picture, use the "X" icon to delete it then and there and to move to the next photo. I am sure that you will find this method very easy and enjoyable.

Good luck

Answer 5

search for all the jpeg files in your computer
the pictures are probably in that format
then select all the unwanted pictures and press shift+delete
press ok

you can block them by using content advisor in your browser
if youre using firefox, you can download an extension called adblock and you can opt to block all images coming from a certain domain

Answer 6

How about changing your password or activating a password such that no one else can long on to your profile.

The "free" protection begins from the user - do not allow people to use your computer.

Answer 7

hi, there maybe virus on your computer perhaps you can try Norton or Mcafee to remove the virus, but you should pay for the software.

i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.

besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

download firefox for free:
