download internet explorer tracking programs.   you can also check the cookies or just get a computer monitoring program that lists every action on the comptuer.  They run in the background so you cannot find it unless you know its there.  Check out some parental sites about ie monitoring.

The outgoing activity could be spyware so it can't hurt to have it checked unless you trust your anti-spyware software 100%.

Software packages susch as Norton's Internet Security has parental controls to block access to less than respectable websites.\n\nIf the kid is computer wise, amd most are, the parental controls build in Internet Explorer are easily defeated.\n\nAnother thing to do would be to create or modify his Windows XP so that he doesn't have Admin or Power User Rights.

No, he won't be able to see what you're doing on your computer unless he's monitoring the network traffic, or her has access to your computer.

Once the recycle bin has been emptied, there is no telling what was in it unless you hire someone to look through the drive and try and translate the millions of stale bits on the drive, which is very tricky.\n\nHave you tried looking in her trash bin on her email?  There are also spy programs you can purchase to log everything that is typed on the keyboard without her knowing it. A couple of these programs are:\n\nhttp://www.autospysoftware.info/\nhttp://www.keylogpro.com/\nhttp://www.e-spy-software.com/spy_software.htm (Free Trial Available)\n\nThe other option, if you are using IE6 is to use the Content Advisor in Tools | Internet Options | Content.  This can keep your child away from certain sites.\n\nAlso, you can view the history that shows what sites have been visited in the last x number of days.  The number of days to save history is on Tools: Internet Options | General.\n\nAlso, if your child is chatting in Instant Messanger, you can go to Tools | Options | Messages and put a check in the box next to "Automatically keep a history of my conversations".  Then you can specify the directory.  Be cautious, though, because you must do it when your child is logged onto their account.  Have somebody call her and keep her busy while you change these settings.  Then, when she returns to see the chat box as it was, she will never know what's happening.  Then you can go to the directory you saved the conversations in when she is not looking and view them.\n\nHope this all helps.

We have iMacs, and the AIM for Mac has an option in the Preferences, where you can choose to have it save the logs, AND you can password protect access to the logs - that's how I keep tabs on what my son is really up to!  And thankfully, it's nothing too bad.

start -> run ->\nwindows key+R\n\ntype cmd\ntype netstat -b\npress enter\n\nthat says all the programs that are connecting to your computer. If something is connected from the internet to your computer and you dont know what it is, you should find out.\n\n\n\nWatch my google video on checking if you have malicious files\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=593261584447796339&q=Jimmy+Ruska\n\n\n\nGAIM is a good replacement for MSN and yahoo messenger\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+gaim

it's called 'windows'.\n\n'they' don't need any special software to watch what you're doing, network servers and their operating systems have all that kind of functionality built in already, everything from activity logs to being able to watch your screen remotely as if they were looking over your shoulder.\n\nEDIT: what do you mean by how do they do it? they either access the logs on the server for who visited what site or bring up a list of the users attached to a particular server, right click and view the users screen in realtime. there are many many configurations to a network and many many programs and utilities within windows that normal users don't have access to for obvious reasons.

Snooping parent. Why? You have no trust in him? This is bad.....\n\nIf you want to connect to his computer to help him that's a different story. Wish you had put it that way. Now, that you have said you want to know what he is doing, it does not reflect well on you.\n\nShame. Shame\n\nPS: In XP, it is easy to do. But I am not going to tell you. Sorry.

What's up? Don't you trust your kids? If that's the case, you should have a parental control on their PC. The information will be somewhere on the hard drive, you will have to get an expert to have a look for you but if they have done something illegal you can expect trouble with the law.

I would suggest Activity Monitor. It is a real time PC monitoring system. It has two parts, client and server. The great thing about it is, it can be installed remotely to PCs in LAN (Win NT/2000 and XP).\n\nIt is able to log keystrokes, Screens, every thing. Any program canbe run or close remotely by it. Reports r also great.\n\nI think this is the one u r looking for.\n\nHope ur sons r not doing anything wrong.\n\nAll the best.

Log into the Router, then look at the LOG file.  This will probably be a dead give-away.

In order to find something like this, I would recommend that you download HiJackThis Software. The program scans your PC and creates a Log of all the processes and programs that are running on your PC at the current moment. If you don't know how to analyze this Log, I suggest that you go to http://www.savemybutt.com/ site and download the free software and learn how to use it as well, and post your Log here\nhttp://www.savemybutt.com/forums/index.php?board=13.0\nThis is a Chicago-based forum that offers free help to those who need help reading their HiJackThis Logs.

Here's a program that's perfect for that.  My 4 year old and 6 year old use it and it's worked great!\n\nwww.kid-surf.com\n\nYou can set it up to Start when Windows starts - if you want.
