My mom was saying that there is a way for you to find out all of the sites you've visited even if you've erased your internet history. Is that ture? If so, how can you erase it?

Ha! Sounds like your mom is trying to scare you into staying away from porn sites. Occasionally I need to check the internet history of people at my workplace. A small number of people are smart enough to clear their history to prevent being found out.
When I see a cleared history I start checking temporary internet files to see what pages they've been too. It's not the fastest or most efficient technique, but it works. If you run a disk cleanup it can clear that part out though. Also make sure to delete any cookies.

The only way to totally erase all fragments of your activity is to re-format your hard drive. How computer literate is your mom? If she is a programmer (like me) you had best stay to the approved sites.
