How do you get it to no show up ANYWHERE in your computer? I deleted it from the history of visited files, etc. If my parents take the computer in to be cleaned can they find it somewhere that someone was looking at this?
I am not ratting him out but will it show anywhere?
Also how come it shows like ladies in ******** (whatevere town you live in)? Does it have a tracker or something?

Yes it must have a tracker! Try going to internet options, and delete history or remove cookies or something like that. Play arround with it to make sure you get rid of all the evidence.

There are programms you can download that put internet filters on your browser. One popular one is NetNanny. there are others but I don't recall their titles. Run a google search on 'Internet Filter Software'.
You can go into the browser operations menus to clean out the history and cache ot delete all files.
The sites list your local town because they put a 'cookie' on your computer that tells them where it's registered, or they can see what number your modem is calling from and tell from that.
BTW - pornography can be very confusing and give alot of wrong ideas to a 9 year old. You really need to sit him down for a serious talk about what he saw.

It is big-brother like of you to want to protect him, but really, you or your parents better have a serious talk with this kid. In the meantime, ensure that at least at home, he can't access it. Go to Internet Explorer, Internet Options, and review the Privacy, Security, and Content tabs. On the Content tab, there is an option "enable." Here you can set all smut allowed to 0 and set a password.

many antivirus programs have website filters so site can be accessed or blocked. Find the web access filter and block those sites from being able to be accessed and some antivirus software have password settings so cannot be changed without using password first

i'd tell your parents about this but thats just me. if whoever they are taking it to to clean it is worth anything at all with computers, they'll likely find something. porn sites are notorious for carrying spyware, adware, viruses and trojans, so it'll likely show something for all this looking at porn sites. and every time you go online each and every website you go to can pretty much tell where you are, via your ip address, though it's also likely your brother told them where he lives.

Chill. He is just curious. He may have questions about the opposite sex and it is not too early to learn about the birds and the bees.
Usually under "tools" there is something like "clear private data". Do that. Make sure you get the cookies too.
