I just went on some websites I shouldn't be on and plan on going again

So my question is if I'm using internet explorer as my browser is there a way for my parents to find out what websites I've been through even if I go through yahoo?bird-man

Yes. You are going to the fiery depths of hell heathen.

Oh, yes.Dracargen

what can they use to track my history/

The options bar...I suppose. If you don't know, your parents may not know as well.

In my humble opinion, you deserve whatever is going to happen...

[QUOTE="Dracargen"]Oh, yes.bird-man

Many things.

Just delete your cookies. Firefox has an easy Ctrl-Shift-Del function that allows you to delete everything.

Make sure you have a virus scan and pop blocker/scanner.

'Cause where you're going you are going to get a lot of both........

I chuckle when I think of you sitting there freaking out while a dialer installs itself.

Very true. If he has parents that snoop and check the internet history a lot, then when they see the history is "empty", they will be just as suspicious that the history is empty because they saw their son earlier on the internet...that is if he has smart parents, they will know something is up.

"But Mom, Dad, deleting your history makes the PC run sooo much better."

I go to those websites through the yahoo search engine which actually helps you find certain things (that's why it's better than google). So can that be traced?

That's very subtle. Sure, they wouldn't know what he has been looking at, only that it's something that he shouldn't look at. AvIdGaMeR444

I am making the assumption his parents are stupid, like mine.

Or just don't dont go on whatever it is :roll:rb2610

Seriously, assuming it's prawn your looking at, you don't need it, eventually you get to a point in your life that you realise that that outlook is unsatisfying and meaningless and you won't care about it anymore.rb2610

This is true. Takes quite a while but is true.

Seriously, assuming it's prawn your looking at, you don't need it, eventually you get to a point in your life that you realise that that outlook is unsatisfying and meaningless and you won't care about it anymore.rb2610

Why else would you go to the internet?

Anyway, If OP wants to avoid clearing the his history every time he is done, he should try a google image search for whatever site he is looking for (site:%s etc.). Most people don't bother looking past the images.google bit at the front of the URL.

go in internet options and remove history,

an easy solution is to install a second browser under your personal folders then use that, then you can add these websites to favourites and you shouldn't need to wipe the history every time

or use google translator as a proxy

lol anyone else finds this thread hilarious?club-sandwich

Agreed. Sometimes people is hilarious(:

If your parents were like my mother(who took classes upon classes on computers) I would think that you should be worried.

But if their normal old parents. Dont sweat.

Well, if you really are that desperate to persist with these sites you could always format your hard drive after every time you go on :P

Actually, could you not use a system restore point? But I don't think it was designed to be used that regularly.

So my question is if I'm using internet explorer as my browser is there a way for my parents to find out what websites I've been through even if I go through yahoo?bird-man

How old are you?

Actually, yes: your computer maintains a trace of the pages you've visited even after you delete your chronology.

Plus: your ISP keeps a log of all your web browsing, which may be made public in some particular cases.

You'd better watch what you do.

Well thats settled then, just don't do it.

Ha, I just remembered there was this guy at my school who used his Wii to 'browse the internet' :lol:

Dialers are still around? Most computers these days don't even have modems.

What kind of website is this? Is it a political site or business site? Something illegal? I don't know what it is that you're so afraid of.CruxisXIII

Ask the TC if pr0n counts as business. :P
