i REALLY NEED HELP, AND QUICK!?

Question

I have an older brother that has a program on his computer that can find out what website i am currently on. and, you know the History toolbar on top of the internet? well, the history from that toolbar transfers into my older brother's internet history instead. In other words, the history on my internet transfers automatically and immediately into my brother's computer. and he can do the same with my chatting online. he can see what i'm typing to send to my friends, and what my friends send back. How do i get my history back from my brother? i don't want my brother's computer to be knowing what websites i go to. So the basic question is: How do i start getting history inside my History toolbar again? or how do i put some kind of private force-field around my internet session? I NEED SOMEONE'S HELP. IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!! SOMEONE OUT THERE, THERE'S A PERSON IN NEED OF INTERNET ASSISTANCE!!!

shut the HELL UP ROBERT! YOUR BUTT IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM.

Answer 1

Alex, I would say you have a problem. Your brother has probably installed software on his and your computer like the type that is used by parents to keep track of what their children do on the internet. I might be able to help you turn this around, but you need to answer some questions. First, are both your and your brother's computer running Windows XP, and second, how long has this been going on? Did it just start a week or two ago? Post this info and let's see what can be done.

Answer 2

He's installed a security program to monitor internet access on the PC. U will need to uninstall this, once you find it, but this will ONLY be possible if you are logged in as an ADMINISTRATOR, so I hope you haqve an admin account and password to use.

You could also try running ADAWARE from www.lavasoftusa.com and Spybot from WWW.SPYBOT.ORG to see if they pick up the program (esp if it's a known piece of malware and not a commercial program he's used)
