Anybody know how to check IE history?

[Texas Dipper]

I'm trying to monitor my kids' internet activity but they know how to clear the history before I get home from work. Does anybody know how to check the history after it's been cleared (or is it possible)?

You could look at the cookie, and see if any have "odd" names.
You can also go to something like yahoo/google, and type in letters to see what it autofills. Sometimes this works even after clearing the history.

Go to a Spy store and set up a camera.

Or you could go to the Anti-Spy store and set up a camera.

I did a quick Google search and there are SW programs that can help you out. They also allow you to block sites.

install the sw as the above poster said.
If they notice that then try logging at the router/firewall

Can't vouch for it, but this freeware program looks like what you're looking for...

That website Link has a lot of cool and useful stuff on it. There are things like keyloggers (keeps ttrack of what was typed on a computer) and other stuff like that.

Kids can spy back. Don't start the game unless you want to play all the way through.

Setting up Loggin on your router may be a better option. Make sure they don't have the admin password to your router!

The best defense is to make sure they use the computer in a public place like a living room, etc...

If you cut off their fingers they cannot type now, can they? Problem solved, no software needed, solution permanent. You are welcome.

Try "Family Cyber Alert" software. It's cheap and works well. My buddy has it, but once he busted the kids, they just moved their nasty interweb business elsewhere.
