Hello everyone
This is my sons username and all and this is his father speaking. This is also his computer that I am talking about. Okay heres the problem. After coming home from work one day I saw my son looking at pics and watching movies of things he shouldnt have. I beleive you know what I mean. After a long talk about it with him, he said to ask you guys if there is a way to make sure this stuff is NOT saved or stored somewhere on his computer. If you guys have any ideas on how to delete all these files or how to make sure there are no traces of what he did, please let me know.
Thank you all for your help and Im sorry to have to ask you such a question but I do appreciate all your hep you have given my son.

this isnt that effective but do a search with some key words in it and delete the
files that come up. Or since the stuff he was looking at probably came with some
viruses you could try to do a vius search

actually if you had set a system restore point recently before then you could just roll back

Run a file search by hitting Start> Search> Files & Folders
on the top line type in *.jpg and hit search now
then do it with *.mpg
and *.avi
This will search for any file ending in .jpg or .mpg or .avi
Windows includes some of these files so you will have to look at each prior to deleting each one. The * is a DOS wildcard symbol, it means anything. Like "any name.jpg"
I would suggest installing some parental control software, look at http://www.bsafehome.com/
There are others available, this is just one that I know about.

Why is the "dad" posting as/with his sons account here?
"Dad" ..maybe you should setup your own account here to post these questions.
You should respect your sons privacy of his Techimo account. | |
