Question

my 15 year old son has been on the computer without my knowing,can i find out where he has been?he deleted the history....and i don't know that much about computers.help

Answer 1

Go to the Temporary Internet Files which is allocated in Control Panel and select Internet Options. u can see temporary internet files under generel tab and select the settings and select view files...from there u can see the internet address

Answer 2

If he deleted the history then he probably knows how to get rid of all traces to where he has been online. Try going into the temp. Internet files on your computer and checking out the cookies in there.. it will show you websites and that stuff. But, like I said, if he has deleted the history then he probably has deleted other things also. If he feels the need to hide what he has been doing on line I would be worried about what he has been looking at. Why do you put parental controls on your computer to block him from sites you do not want him to visit?

Answer 3

go to your temporary internet files. it will show everywhere he's been, but he could have deleted those too. if he did, i hate to tell u but he's probably hiding something. there's software out there that will monitor his activity without anyone knowing its running. i think its called the guardian.
keep in mind though, he's a 15 year old boy, i wouldn't worry too much, its natural.

Answer 4

If he deleted the history, then he obviusly hasn't gone anywhere on the net that he thinks you would want him to go.

Ask him nicely, and if he doesn't tell you, punish him.

If he does tell you, tell him, "okay," and then tell him to never delete the history again.

If he deletes the history again, you know he's doing something wrong, and you can act accordingly.

Answer 5

check the temporary files.
