Answer» The point of viewing the sites listed, would be for this guys parents... underage.... not out of school even! It is up to my husband though, it is his family. I just told him I would FIND out what exactly was viewed, so we would know for sure... he had already cleared the history by the time we found out. Thanks for all of the help! I will try this, but it will be monday probably, we will be out of town. I'll let u know if I cant get it! Thanks again! KJ - the site you posted is very interesting but look at the date of the info: The point of viewing the sites listed, would be for this guys parents... underage.... not out of school even! It is up to my husband though, it is his family. I just told him I would find out what exactly was viewed, so we would know for sure... he had already cleared the history by the time we found out. Thanks for all of the help! I will try this, but it will be monday probably, we will be out of town. I'll let u know if I cant get it! Thanks again! I have been watching this topic now for several DAYS and I am really trying to FIGURE out , who is the most upset over the incident ........ You and your husband or............ the parents of the underage ... not out of school yet person. Quote he had already cleared the history by the time we found out.This sounds like it was the young person who cleared the history .... and if it was , that suggests to me that ....he or she has done this before and has enough computer skills to remember to attempt to cover up their tracks ...... Kids will do these sort of things be it intentional or by accident . Frustrating as it may be , thats life ......... Can the info someones apparently wants to recover be recovered .............. Possibly , but it will be a fairly costly procedure . The fact that CCleaner was installed and run suggests that most of the evidence has already been comprimised and depending on how ccleaner was set up , may well be unrecoverable. Further , the fact that the machine used by the youngster ...... is ( has ) been in use since makes it even more difficult to recover anything which have remained . There are of course forensic recovery specialists who have very sophisticated software at their disposal ..... but as stated above is very expensive. The best thing you and you husband can do would be to install a keylogger on your machine and suggest to the parents of the youngster , that they do the same thing .....and then every keystroke that is made on the machine is recorded in a well hidden file for inspection at any time ....... If you are concerned that there is all this nasty stuff hidden deep in the bowels of your machine ........ Do as has been suggested much earlier and save anything of importance from the machine and then do a full format and a complete reinstall ....... Now its clean....... all gone ..... until the next time . I hope this assists you and your hubby in understanding a bit more about computers. dl65 >>>then look at this video hope it helps get it here copy and past link http://www.freewebs.com/fragit/vid.zip Dakota... I can not get this to open... >>>>I have been watching this topic now for several days and I am really trying to figure out , who is the most upset over the incident ........ You and your husband or............ the parents of the underage ... not out of school yet person dl65... Both parties are upset. The thing is that he cleared the history, but i was cleaning up some space on the computer and checked the temp files, and found this crud. The parents have not touched their computer(as far as cleaning off goes) b/c it has been taken away and not touched. Ive heard about he key loggers, but I cant decide. Ive downloaded a few to try, but IF POSSIBLE I do not want to pay for it. I know that there are freeware sites out there... a friend of mine has a key logger that WAS free... now they chare $70! If is is a good ONE, I do not mind shelling out cash, but there are so many, i am not sure which one to get. it works for me you have to copy and past the link it will not work if you click it OK! All I can say is WOW! I didnot know you could make a video like that!!! Thanks! I have not been able to try it yet, but I will! Any suggestions for a good keylogger? :-?The best program I have found for monitoring computer / email / internet usage is Spector Pro by SpectorSoft: http://www.spectorsoft.com/products/SpectorPro_Windows/index.html It logs keystrokes It logs incoming and outgoing emails It logs every web site visited It logs chats and IM It takes periodic screen shots ... and more And by default it installs in "stealth" mode so nobody else even knows that it is installed. You can VIEW the logs from the computer it is installed on, or from any other computer on the network. You can find some programs for cheaper, but this logs the most information, works with the widest range of programs and webmail and is best that we have used by far. We install it for lots of parents, and we have installed the network version for several corporate customers.!! Is there anything this great, that is not so expensive? $100 for occasional use is hard to do.... is this always on sale like this? $50 off is pretty good, but i was hoping to not have to spend the $50 :-?Sometimes quality software costs $$$. Look what MS gets for their stuff! This is a bargain, if you want a good keylogger, though. There are freeware things you can try as well. Just google for "free key logger". |
