Question

Ok, I suspect my husband is getting on yahoo messenger, however he is getting slick about deleting things. Is there a way to check for deleted software or pictures even after they have deleted out of the obvious places such as history, recycle bin, deleted the file etc. I'm telling you he has gotten really slick about it. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Answer 1

There are lots of programs that recover deleted files.
Not many of them are free, but this one is, and it does a good job.

I would just use a keylogger to track what he's typing. A keylogger is like a notepad that jots down all the keys that are typed. Whenever your husband types something, it will get typed on the keylogger as well. Then when he's not around, you can look at the keylogger to see what he's been up to. It stays pretty well concealed until you want to view it.
Here's an easy free one.

If your husband is good at computers, he could find out you're using it, though.

Answer 2

My professional opinion is that if you confront your husband he will not tell you the truth and most likely think you are paranoid.

The internet has destroyed many marriages.

I am sure that your feelings are 100% . You can download an excellent keylogger, (purchased), and have a tech. install for you if you don't know how to follow the wizard that will guide you through the installation.

Your husband will have no knowledge and the keylogger will record all of his activities on the computer that he is using.

Wish you the best.

Answer 4

You can manually browse the browser catche, you can also install a keylogger that would record what he types. There also various types of spy software available. You might want to get a system snooper which records more than a keylogger and even keeps an eye on cache and other files transfered to your PC.
You can try using cybersitter which is primarily designed on keeping an eye on your kids...

Answer 5

get the software - file recovery pro.. u can recover anything and everything that have been deleted using windows normal deletion method but if he used a destruction method by using evidence eliminator software then no 1 even the FBi cant recover it

Answer 6

Its not good to sneak around!
if you think he is playing up just ask him!!
you can often tell if he is lying to you
if he gets angry when you ask that is one hint
or breathing through his mouth
hard to give you eye contact
tries to change the subject
or cause an argument
they are just a few of the guilty hints

Answer 7

There are various file recovery utilities that can recover some deleted data. I don't know which one is best to recommend but you can google "file recovery" or "undelete."

Answer 8

How about just talk to him about it?!
Otherwise - get a keylogger. That way you can find out everything he's typing, all the good stuff... and passwords :).
Careful though, that's how people get divorced... good luck.
