Removing all traces of porn?

Question

I know how to delete the internet history but how do you remove ALL traces of porn from your computer? Does WMP and other players keep track of everything it plays? If so, how do you delete its history?

and please... no comments about the porn. i have a feeling someones going say something. I'm just trying to keep my computer safe for my whole family.

Answer 1

First off if you want to play you'll untimatley pay. MS media player has a check box under options that you can uncheck so it doesn't save the crap you view.
The other program you can find is tracks eraser from cnet.It may cost a bit I don't remember because I have no reason to use it.
Visit the site below and look in the lower right corner there is a free download or visit cnet.com and search for yourself.

Answer 2

well when u go to history and you click on today, 3 weeks ago or 2 weeks ago it open all the sites you've been to, so you can either delete the sites you don't want on your computer but even if you right click then click delete it is still there on your computer, but what i realised there is a way around it all u have to do is this: u would have to go to c, you know the place in my computer. Then click search , then click search hidden files. then start it up. Now look through all your hidden files for the ones that have porn then click delete and they will be removed from your computer. I hope this works. Good Luck

As soon as you delete your history everyone will know you are attempting to hide something.

To clear your history you need to clear:

For each browser: History, Recently typed URLs, Last download location. Temporary internet files, Temporary files, cookies, each toolbar history (Google , Yahoo, Etc.)
Also:
Empty recycle bin, Media player play lists of recent movies played

In addition when these files are erased they are not overwritten so any free recovery tool can recover these files.

CCleaner deletes all this automatically. It also has an option to overwrite the files when they are deleted so they can not be recovered.

http://www.ccleaner.com/
Do not install toolbar option
In options.
Uncheck "only delete files older than 48 hour" if needed
Select secure file deletion and number of overwrite passes if needed
Set to run (clean) when the computer starts.
Place cookies you want to keep in save list


To make files that have been previously deleted but not overwritten unrecoverable:

Install Restoration (free)
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,23108-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html

Start Restoration > on menu "Others" > Delete completely > Yes >Yes
Will run for about 6 hours.
Then another menu will appear; click yes ; will run for a couple of minutes more and then be finished.

Overwrites all deleted files making them non recoverable. Does not overwrite Windows files, Programs files, or any other files.

EACh player keps its own history. It is easy to clear each one, to clear tem files, etc, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. ALMOST EVERY porn site hides little bits and pieces around your puter, and its NOT in the normal places. Rather than perform surgery, it would be MUCH faster to back up data and PC RESTORE the whole system, yes, it's a bummer, but porn hides all over the place and WILL resurface

get a free prog called " crapcleaner". uninstall all browser extentions delete all cookies, goto add and remove progs and delete anything that you do not recognise. goto c:/documents and settings, and dig around in there for things that shouldnt be there. if you still have a prob, uninstall everything that you do not actually need, then go to system restore and try to find a point before you started your "adult" surfing. good luck, and for the sake of the kids, keep it clean

Answer 7

Wipe the hard pressure, no must purchase a brand new one. Wipe the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. As a way to delete everything. Make certain you delete, no longer restore. There will have to be recommendations in the handbook to the pc on how to try this, and you need the reboot CD.

Answer 8

I encourage everyone to get a good webfilter such as "K9 Web Protection." This is available at: http://www.k9webprotection.com/ Another good software to try is what is called accountability
software. This one will track questionable websites, and email them to a person, or persons, of
your choice. It is called x3Watch and is available at: http://www.xxxchurch.com/07/ and
http://x3watch.com/ These are ideas both for parents, and persons who are struggling with an
"addiction" to internet pornography

Answer 9

Wipe the annoying force, no could desire to purchase a sparkling one. Wipe the annoying force and reinstall the working equipment. which will delete each and every thing. determine you delete, no longer restore. There could be instructions in the instruction manual to the pc on a thank you to try this, and you like the reboot CD.

harrison is right on the money here: you almost certainly have (& can never be sure you rid yourself of) all kinds of unknown garbage. reformat (NOT a windows overlay) and start fresh.
install a site monitor and 'cop' program; plenty of free, nice app's avail from 'snapfiles.com/freeware'; look under security, and parental controls.
