Simplist without downloading anything is click the arrow next to her browser, it will show all the sites she has been to.

Depending upon her age. If you do this, it is almost the same as reading her diary. You may find out stuff that she considers private and it could harm your relationship permanently. I would suggest talking to her about who she may be talking to instead of spying on her.
How would you have felt when you were younger if your mom always picked up the phone extension while you were on it. This is the same thing in a new age.
Communications is always the best way to resolve issue. Going behind someones back and spying never helps anything.
There is software out there, you can pick it up at any store or on line. But please consider the effects of using it and only use it as a last resort. You could even bluff and say you installed before you actually do as a pre-last resort. But again that is lying and sneaking.

First of all make her delete her Yahoo Id. I said make her delete it and see that its being deleted. Further more I trust a kid website such as http://www.vmk.com and http://www.puzzlepirates.com its more monitored ones sponsored my Disney the other is Yahoo. So also I would take the computer out of her room. Do these things If shes underage but If she is not underage the only thing you can do is talk with her about it. You want to monitor her conversations that's hard I recommend you make her get a Yahoo child Id. An Id that you have the password for. If she wants a Yahoo email. I would also look into AOL Kids chat they have your suppose to be able to look through there conversations after they are done chatting. You can also block who she talks to and what she does on AOL. Ive got a step child so we don't have to monitor her much because shes only on vmk or puzzle pirates. Also a neat website that doesn't have any chats is http://www.neopets.com Enjoy the links.

Dont let people tell you that you shouldn't spy on her because comments like that are mostly coming from teenagers that are probably up to something. First of all the computer has to come out of her room that is crazy. The computer can be a dangerous thing, everyone has heard all of the scary stories on TV. I would try the nanny net .

All you have to do is look in the cookies. Everything is there. Every website she visits. (Unless she deletes it) What reason would she need to if she doesn't think you're snooping.
When she's away or at school, look in the files and see what kind of websites she's looking up. You can even see the date and time she was on and when you click on it, it will pull the page up.
You have the right to know what your daughter is doing on the computer. Hopefully she doesn't have a web cam. Young girls are known to strip tease with those!

You shouldn't have let her have a computer in her room depending on how old she is if she is under 15 you can sit with her a monitor it or look under the history in she is older bud out she needs privacy even when she is 13.
You should discuss rules and boundaries with her such as not chatting or giving any personal information or looking at any unsuitable sites.

Know what programs your daughter's using. There are some that leave "clues" for you to see if what she's doing.
OR
See the history of her internet browser. Look at what sites she's surfing.
OR
Install a hidden camera.
OR
Ask her herself.
OR
If she is using the network (in which you are administering), ban all programs and sites that explicit internet harrassment. Then have a parental software for support.

Take it out of her bedroom and put it in a common area,then limit the amount of time she can be on it. Then talk to you child about on-line predators,that you love her and want to protect her.But you don't have to spy,at some point you have to trust her depending on her age.Push to hard and she'll just go get on line somewhere else.

Don't do that. If she comes to know that you are spying on her she may feel let down & hurt. Just talk to her & tell her the dangers of chatting with strangers. Educate her about the evils of today's world. Win her confidence. She will really understand.

How old is your daughter? I wouldn't monitor. I would make her aware of the problems that talking to 'older guys' can lead to. And hope i can get through enogh to convince her to talk to her own age group. But then my daughter ain't getting no computer in her bedroom till she's at least 16. Till then she is sitting at her own little desk next to mine :-)
