how do i know if my child is visiting porn sites?

Question

he is always locked up in the room byhimslef and spends long hours on the computer. i tried to hit the history button but he could of erased it. is there another way you can figure this out

Answer 1

try http://www.oatmealmedia.net - they have a program you can put on his computer that will record his activity without interfering. Not as invasive as cybernanny, but it lets you check up on him.

Answer 2

These are only prevention measures for your child accessing prono sites, the only way you can keep him away from them is to limit the time he spends in front of a computer, and find him another enjoyable and constructive activity. Spend more time with him, and make sure he has many friends and has a lot of fun doing whatever else.

In the Start Menu, go to Control Panel, then Security Center. In the Security Center, click Internet Options, and go to the tab of Content. This is where you can prevent sites that contain nudity, sex, violence from being accessed by your Internet browser. In the Content Advisor box, click the Enable button. Set the levels you would like, and than click on the General tab in the same window. The "Users can see sites that have no rating" has to be unckecked. That means that after you have these settings in order, the browser will not be able to access porno sites. You can also create a password, to make sure your child does not access these settings on his own.

Answer 3

I don't think porn sights should be your only concern!!
If he's smart enough to be eraseing the "history", then he may be into things worse than porn.

Have you tried sitting him down and talking to him? Maybe if he won't give you the time for that and give you answers, maybe it's called for to take the computer out of his room awhile, and disconnest his internet.

Try taking the lock off his door so he knows that if he can't be up front with you, your going to invade his privacy because YOU CARE

Answer 4

well if you have disk cleanup which is located in start/Programs/accessories/System tools/disk cleanup click on it then itll bring up this select the drive you want to cleanup/ go to c drive then itll show selections of ..........Temporary Ineternet Files /Downloaded Program Files tick both the boxes click over Temp internet files once and below you should see View Files click on it and itll come up with another folder that should have all the internet sites youve visited.If he using Internet explorer check the toolbar sites/ or firefox you can go to Go located up top then history right at the bottom.That will show you all the recent and past sites youve been visiting,

Answer 5

go to tools
Internet options, at the bottom
settings
view objects
it should let you see what his cookies are, and what sites hes been to, or you can take it in to get serviced to see, they can find anything,

by the way, more parents should be like you, good for you for being concerned, unless hes 18ish, then i think its his business of what hes looking at, but if hes young, then he has no business looking at that stuff,

Answer 6

Chances are, that's exactly what he's doing. Look for behavioral changes: moodiness, excessive sleeping, agitation. Do his friends come over and hang for hours too?

Answer 7

right click on the start tab
click on explore
go to cookies...or
when you're on the internet:
go to tools
click on internet options
click on settings
go to "view files" and "view objects"
Hope that helps

Why do u care if your son lookes at it?
Maybe he is just curious and if you catch him you will yell at him and ground him.

Maybe thats why he does it...If he does it!
