If talking was the solution. we would not have all these pervs... trying to get with kids over the net..Preteen,teens, even so adults  seem to think people on here tell the truth, which we all know is not the case. Better to ck. now then have the detectives tell you about it after there gone...Have you checked her My Space I am sure she has one.Also try www.keykatcher.com ( I Have a teenager)  Hope it helps,moving the computer sounds good also.

#1. IF YOUR DAUGHTER KNOWS THE PASSWORD AND WON'T GIVE IT: \nInstall a keylogger program on your computer. You can find one with every search engine. Have the program installed and let your daughter alone. She will login to your account and you will be able to see the password she used. Change it and check the computer for the same type of software that allowed her to steal it in the first place.\n\n#IF SHE DOES NOT: Email Yahoo! Support, we cannot help you here at Yahoo! Answers.

You can try something like net nanny. But remember that you won't stop your kids from doing what they want with the computer until you get computer literate enough to understand how it really work. Until you do, kids will pass right under your nose and you won't see a thing.\n\nAlso IE settings are completely useless. Who use IE anyway.

AVG does not have its own firewall. (not that I know of)\nIf she is on a budget and has XP - xp has a built in firewall.

How old is she? Open it and keep the password. Use parental\ncontrols.

Monitor what they see on the internet until you feel they are old enough to be unsupervised.  Might be age 17  or 21 or 35.  Depends on your children.  Some children are very trustworthy and fairly mature and some are easily swayed by others.  \n\nDo not allow children to have their own computer in a private place.  It need to be in a public part of the house.  Like a livingroom, den or even the kitchen.  You dont have to sit next to them while they are on it... but they are not allowed to tab-out while on it (as when you walk by).\n\nAlso install blocks that are age appropriate.  \n\nAnd check the computer history of where they have been.

Sounds like you want to do a little private eye work... hmm... try a keystroke logging program.  Some of the better ones even take screen shots that you can review later.  These programs are designed to work in the background where no one (except you) know they are tracking all activity on the computer.

Thank you from a mom's viewpoint.  I think it's lack of supervision.  The computer may be in an area of the home that's is shut off from the adults.  Also I don't think some parents know what type of questions are being asked.

I guess trust is out the door, concerned she has a chat boy friend? \n\nYou could install a keyboard recorder/logger on her computer.

she obviously knows the password or is a good guesser.\n\nyou could try buying a Security Key..its a small flash drive that plugs into a usb port and when removed no one can access your hard drive...very popular gadgets in big offices for eg where it is too hard to shut down your pc whilst just popping away for a few minutes and you dont want others snooping in your pc.\nThe one we sell is called the T3 Security Key and retails for about $65 in Australia..see the link for the product below.\n\nWe also use the key to block off access to parts of the hard drive..when the key is removed the blocked folders etc are not even visible..keeps the kids out of our business folders etc

you can download programs that will track keystrokes and programs and run unseen in the background...basically spying on whoever is using your computer.

Here is the good thing.... if this were your SON, he'd have wrecked your computer by now.   \n\nYou should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.\n\nCheck your anti-virus program.   Get the updates and run a full scan.\n\nNow for your daughter's problem.   Here are some good resources: \n\nKids Get Net Wise\nGreat information about Internet Safety\nhttp://kids.getnetwise.org/\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Set up a firewall, and a password system if someone in your house also uses the computer.
