Turn your cookies off or set to PROMPT to be safe.  As well, to see if your system has become infected, you can download, and install spyware scanners to locate and delete any spyware.\n\nFree and reliable spyware scanners are: \n\nSpybot Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org...\nAdaware - http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware...\nMicrosoft Windows Defender - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/... security/spyware/software/defa...\n\nOnce you have cleaned your system, you can try to track by useage what programs might cause you to become reinfected.

Yes. The most obvious way is to see what pictures have been cached. Although you can get rid of those temporary internet files in the same way that you get rid of cookies.\n\nMany companies load software on individual machines that keep track of your internet usage. Also, if you are connecting through a company, you have to go through their firewall which can also keep track of every site you visit.\n\nNever use your company computer for anything but company business.

Look at the website history, or buy a tracking program.

Have a browser through your Windows "temp" folder. Unless you have specifically set you browser not to accept cookies from 3rd party sites, using cookies alone will NOT provide an accurate idea of what pages have been loaded

They keep track of the websites you go to, not each file. If you are worried get a program like Anonymizer.\nhttp://www.anonymizer.com/home.html

normally the servers store the IP addresses of people too.\nbut in future if researchers in the field of Dynamic Web Prediction (I am one)achieve success then there will be many other methods to track people.\nIt also depends on the purpose of tracking.

Nope. Not unless you have a keylogger. If you're concerned about what's going on on the computer when you're not around, a keylogger is the best way to keep track. It logs everything that's typed (like passwords, IMs and chats), programs opened, etc. and runs invisibly in the background. I use Ghost Keylogger, it's a little expensive, but it's really worth when you consider what it does. ;)\n\nSome applications of the keylogger\n- Monitor your computer while you are away \n- Retrieve lost information\n- Parents can monitor their children activity\n- Monitor what and when programs are opened\n- Find out what you actually wrote

You can check the history or check the cookies out as long as they haven't been deleted.

You need to clean out your cache and history files, cleaning the cookies would'nt hurt either.

Aw shucks, they just want money!\n\nOh. and my virus scanner picked up a tracking cookie from that site.

Yeah, a distinct possibility, like those who market anti-spam search engines putting weird cookies on your pc when you download the software, be aware,

As long as you have anti virus and spy-ware you should be OK    :-)
