I'm just curious. Do they download the program on your computer, or would they download it on another computer. Thanks in advance. =)

not shure. I thought about it. Well, lets put it this way. Only be concerned if uve done something u shouldnt have. If you have a good reputation, they have no reason to, because they should trust u if u have a good reputation.

Any hardware or software monitoring device put between a keyboard and Internet connection will allow parents to monitor their child(ren) activity on the computer. Quite a few of these devices are transparent to the user. Which means the user is normally NOT aware of the devices presence.
keyloggers
proxies
content filters
routers
software firewalls
hardware firewalls

The only way they could review what you are saying on your IM's if they have a program that copies them. Review your control panel to see if there is a program. Also, you may want to go to tools, select options and go to contents then autocomplete, this will erase where you have been and any passwords. This was helpful for me.

Your computer will tell them anything they need to know about your habits on the computer....No softwares necessary....Windows has built in features to log activity on the computer. Your best bet....stop looking at the porn on the internet...

Depends - they are probably checking your computer but if you have a network and share the internet connection they can access your info from their computer. Network administrator reigns suppreme.

If they're good, you won't know. :)
They could have downloaded any number of programs to "track" your sites and chats, they could have something installed on the network line itself, or perhaps even the ISP may have something they can use.
In all cases, if they've done it right, you wouldn't know it's being done.

well if they did install something you would see a eye ball in the bottom right hand corner. IF YOU DONT WANT THEM TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING JUST GO TO TOOLS-INTERNET OPTION-CLEAR INTERNET HISTORY
NO THEY CANT TRACE IM'S
