any way to find out what sites have been visited ?

[monty_python]

I think my little brother is looking at internet porn and was wondering if there's a way to find out what sites have been accesses by my pc.

Any help appreciated

how old is your little brother?

what would you do if he was visiting said sites?

change the settings on your browser so it records history.

unless it's particularly unsavoury I shouldnt worry to much, isnt it just part of growing up - didn't you have any gentlemans pamphlets under your bed as a younger man?

Don't use his leads, find your own


There's a "history" button next to favourites, assume you've tried that

[Whoozit]

If he's cleared the History, there are still places to look. Try Tools -> Internet Options -> Settings button -> View Files which will give you a looong list of the sites/files downloaded.

Unless he's ten, I wouldn't be too worried.

Leaving any moral issues aside....You can use a free viewer to read a file called (I think) Index.dat - if you run a goodle search you should find a link to the viewer and it will list all of the history unless he is smart enough to delete the index file each time he uses the pc.

Sorry that i can't be more specific it was some time ago that I was told about this.

i tried what you said whoozit and the little bugger has in fact been at the porn.Luckily he's not old enough to make the keyboard sticky. I can't blame him i suppose and it's all heterosexual so it's not as if he's been getting off to thai ladyboys.

thx for the help.

Can you post the list of URL's please!!

If you have a firewall then you can always look up the sites there. I've got Mcafee Internet Security 6.0 and it includes parental controls so it provides a solution (although I'm to old for that .
