History deleted as well as all cookies and temp internet files. He cant see why I get so paranoid as he is only 'cleaning up the system' Am I paranoid or would anyone else be a little suss too?

I know it appears as though Im checking the PC all the time and checking up on my partner but Im not, I just happened to notice that the history had all gone as I use it to go back into pages previously visited. Im not such an old boot that we dont talk, and we do look at porn together so I really do not understand what he is hiding. Maybe I should state that we met via an internet dating site 5 years ago and we were both involved with someone else at the time.........................

You should be clearing the history and temp files with some frequency. Especially if you look at bank accounts . Spy ware and keyloggers can pick up personal information from your temp files.
Oh, and turn the temp files down to the minimum size.
Besides being good computer protocol this keeps people from snooping. Stop it.

Look he must know a great amount of Internet and IT he must be an IT person. I was an IT officer once and even though I left that job, I never stopped Tools > Internet Options > General > Delete cookies > OK > Delete files > OK > Clear History > OK habit.
He is probably trying to protect the PC from Internet cowboys and unwanted spams no? I am a woman by the way... It's an IT thing.

He's probably only looking at porn. It depends on your feelings toward porn. I'm guessing by him deleting everything so carefully that you would not be comfortable with this idea. Or if you have children that use the PC maybe he's deleting things so they don't come across anything unsuitable.
If you are worried it may be illegal, then pretend the PC has a fault and take it to your nearest repair shop and chances are they will be able to find what he is deleting so obsessively.
Don't worry yourself too much - he's probably just bored in the afternoon so has a look at some big breasted porno stars.
Good luck x

No, I'd not be suspicious. Working with PCs all day long as I do (software tester), I clear out cookies, temp files, history etc. daily (if not more than once a day).
Clearing out the cookies & temp files will stop the hard drive from filling up with unwanted files. Keepin the "settings" on "low" will also help this.

You're just suspicious. The last thing I do every time I'm ready to depart cyber-land is clear all temp internet files on and off line, all cookies and all history, and then run a virus check before switching off.
So what's your problem?

No, I clean mine out daily, to try and keep the computer speed optimised, but then I have no partner to be suspicious.
If I wanted to hide some of the sites from someone I would only delete the dodgy ones, so the history that remained would look innocent

Well i agree with what everything thinks. It is obvious he is looking at stuff that he thinks you will have a problem with. You need to talk before you get so upset and suspicious that checking on him takes over your life. I've been there, and done that, and its not a nice place to be. So talk with him, and if you can't resolve it by talking, then you will have to think whether you want to continue in a relationship that has secrets.

I would be as well...However, has he ever given you a reason to not trust him? If not, then i suggest you give him the benefit of the doubt. If he has, then you either can really investigate what is going on, if there is anything going on, or just believe him.
There is no relationship without trust...and you should decide, if you are going to stress yourself over something that might not even exist. Keep in mind, if there is something going on, it will eventually reveal itself, so there is no need to look for it, and no need to stress without having solid proof. Why worry over something, and kill yourself over not trusting your partner.
I have absolutely been paranoid, and just recently started thinking this way, and trust me, my life as become a lot calmer. One of things i have decided, is that if anything was going to happen, first, it would be on him and his responsibility. Next, regardless of if i stress and worry over it, it is not going to prevent it, but i will just lose my sanity over it.
Remember how you were before you started doubting, and worrying. Go back to that time, and become calm again. Become that person again! You of course, still love him, but remember, the ONLY thing that is the main outcome of you being paranoid, is eventually negative, not just for you, but for him.
