If you're worried, you can always move the computer to an open location in the house, where people are always around. Then she won't feel like she's safe going to places she isn't supposed to. It's also possible that she's NOT going to places you don't approve of. If she's normally a good kid...give her the benefit of the doubt unless she actually DOES do something wrong.

Check the "history". Just press "Cntrl" and "H" at the same time while you are in Internet Explorer. A pane will open up and you can select websites visited today or in the past. I doubt she is saavy enough to erase this...though you never know. If she has erased this, you can change the settings for erasing this trail. On the Internet Explorer Toolbar, click on "Tools", then "Internet Options" and choose the "General" tab, clisk on Settings and see what it is set to "check off "never". Then after the next time she is online, go behind her and check the history the way I said above. Boynd that, why should you be sneaking around to catch your daughter? Are there rules for computer use in your home? Is the computer in a central location in the house? Somewhere public? If not, why not? She's 13, not 30. YOU bought the computer. YOU decide how it's used.

there is many programs like net nanny you can use. I would recomend working with your daughetr on the pc and hopefully you can build up trust. MY 6 year old daughter managed to diable netnanny 20 min after i installed it on her pc. it made me so proud but anyway my point is nothing you install on the pc is gona stop her if she wants to access stuff you dont allow she will just either bypass it goto a friend house and use there pc goto the library or use a school pc. If you can have a open relation ship where your daughter can talk to you without the fear of you freeking out that should help.
she is 13 she is gona want to join the whole instent messenger and myspace scene sit down with her and help her make up a fake identy to use on the internet.
most likely she is gona get alout of bad advice asking questions on the internet but along the bad advice there will be good advice and atleast she will ahve the chance to fact check unlike if she ask her friends a question about birthcontrol she cant click the next google link to see if its true.
the best advice i have to to uild trust because you can always outsmart a kid they are clever and can find a way around any boundry you set the most you can hope for is the chance to point them in the right direction but ultimetly the choice is theres

You can check her history - if she hasn't deleted it. You can also establish yourself as administrator and set limits to access. From the Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options. Carefully review options on the Security, Privacy and Content tabs.
On the Content tab, click enable. You can set a password to ensure your limits.
13 is tough - they know it all, or think they do. Kids' computers should be in an open area, not in the bedroom. Also, a good heart-to-heart regarding online predators is probably in order. Next time you see something pertinent in the paper or TV, call her attention to it. Then pray.

You could install one of the many parent watchers that monitor activity on the computer. You could also get a keylogger.

I've used Eblaster monitoring software and I love it. It will even email you screen shots and chat sessions of your daughter's activities while you are at work...

You could ban her from the computer if the trust isn't there. YOU are the parent, remember?
