What do I do to find out every place my pc has been?

Like old owners and shit? be more specific so we can help you...

Every time i sell a computer that i've used i format it and low pass wipe it so that no one can retrieve info then i reinstall everything and sell it...

I'm talking current owners.Are there specific files I need to look for?

You're reffering to all the websites that have been accessed? If so they should be located in the .dat files, and in the swap file I think.

Go to download.com and look for spector2.0
and it will snap images and key strokes.
Its cool because you can put in stealth mode and there is no trace thats its even running on the machine.

Websites and what not are located in the history folder, and as long as the person had them enabled, in the cookies (yum)

The folders are located at different places on different versions of windows. I've got Win2k, and you probably don't have it, so my cookies and history are in a weird place because of multiple users.

I'm sure someone else could tell you the location of the two folders.

kymbreleigh.first read the comments made about spector2.0 before you download it!
To me it doesnt sound to stable.

for old internet sites and shit u could search c:\windows\temporary internet files\content.IE5, type all this in at the find prompt and u get all the shit that youve been to *slashes must go that way....*

*****Man code prohibits me from answering your questions. ******

WAIT......

You are trying to bust your man looking at porn aren't you?

Guys you are breaking man code.

hehe, which is why most guys don't like to answer chicks...

I don't even know what the hell is going on here. I thought i did til i got to the replies. She says she is talking about current owners...but wouldn't they be the current owners of their computer? And what the hell did that keylogger thing have to do with it? Maybe i just misread ALL of it, but whatever. heh, i am pretty sure she won't post anymore after those two, unless in here.

Think about it man. This is a chick wanting to know every where HER computer has been on the net.... Why would anyone care???? Unless is is a chick checking up on her man. Let me put it this way. Would you all the sudden need to find out what site you home computer has been on? What reasons do you think a person has to have such an intrest. This is an over controlling girlfreind or wife.

I am a wife you guessed it and a mother of three I work a lot and I need to know my kids, who are very young ,have not been anywhere they shouldn't go.They may be young but they know how to search on the internet.
As for temporary internet files they get deleted on a regular basis and I was asking about hard drive.
I've been to the USER file and found interesting things but there doesnt seem to be any dates and it is in code(most of it).
I get told all day long that I am super hot so if I am so hot why would my man be cheating?
And why are you guys so quick to protect?

Because, its our code to one another... Not just other guys, to others of our kind, mainly Hackers/Phreakers.

If you want to "stop" them from looking at stuff, go get NetNanny http://www.netnanny.com just don't tell them the backdoor code is ~frontdoor. lol

thanks for nothing!

Looking at internet porn and masturbating isn't exactly cheating...Unless you're in somewhere like Iran where they can actually cut off your right hand I presume.

I mean, you could cut off his right hand too, but that would cause some problems. My sister tried to catch my brother-in-law by looking at the history, so I just showed him how to clear the history all the time. I'm now formally ashamed that I even mentioned anything helpful.

Sorry kym.

Look I know this situation by heart. Do you realy think you can control what your man looks at? Do you realy want to. You see a hot man, you tink to yourself... The guy is cute. He is the same way. By checking up on him you are spying on the man you love. By doing this you are not trusting him to love you. Lust is lust. Men get turned on by naked picture, women it is more on an emotional level. Don't let it get to you.

I wana know why a chick can go get back massages, foot rubs and shit like that and guys get bitched out for looking at porn. If it realy bothers you so bad.... Search for naked dudes and leave it in the history. I think you will find your man to be cooler about it than you are acting.

lady i must say, my parent have tryed to block me have tryeied to keep me off the comp, it doesnt stop me, jsut give in... your kids are gona look at porn and shit and theres really nothin u can do, and really u shoudln bother trying cause its normal.... unless of course there looking at shit like osama's reqruitment page on the web....lol

*shrug*

Help one side or help the other side. Whether one side is good or bad... Help the hacker break into a network, or help the security guy protect his network... Or help some kid look at porn freely on the internet, or help the parent monitor the computer against such actions... I don't see a difference. I see two sides in a struggle with very personal, arguably legit, reasons to combat the other. Who are we to say which is the good side? Or who has the more sound reasons? We are biased, and we do not know what is best for every situation - much less so when we're not even involved in the situation and don't even know SECOND-HAND what the situation is. Freedom of knowledge is a two-sided coin. Freedom of knowledge is the only goal have. Abuse of knowledge is pretty much all I try to avoid when determining what help I should or should not give.

IMHO spying on your husband's habits is destructive on a relationship which may be perfectly healthy otherwise - but spying on your children's habits may provide valuable info in molding their lives in healthy ways.

I think you should get a system monitor possibly from http://www.iopus.com and installed it with the full knowledge of your husband.

P.S. Consider this bit of strange advice. Sometimes it is best that if your husband DID cheat on you - that you never know about it. Mistakes can happen, and it would be a crying shame if you destroy an otherwise happy marriage by finding out. If you ask around you'll find that in several long-lasting happy marriages one or the other has cheated on their partner. It may still be a secret! Don't destroy the chance for such happiness.

heh, 40% of all women cheat on their husbands befor age 40. Scary hu?

BTW install net nanny, or any other progy like that, or a monitor program and your kids WILL end up on sites like this and WILL outsmart you in the long run.

I'm probably one of the few guys who'd forgive my girl for cheating on me. But it really depends on if she's sorry. I go by a 2 strikes you're out system. I don't agree with how people all freak out if their partner had sex with another person - even if they were repentent and they really did love you and not them. I mean sure, it would upset me, but I would still be reasonable.

Kym dont let these weirdo's get you down.....this is what they do the majority of the time any ways.....all they do is b!+ch and complain about we tah did things and most of the time they dont complete the argument which was brought up in the first place....I mean look at this topic....you asked "What do I do to find out every place my pc has been?" and they all start jumping in and talking about something else...some thing that you didnt even ask about. The majority of these guys are judgemental, horney and liars....except for gizmo (probably because I have a..???..on him)
This is a NEWBIE'S forum guys....lets try to help and not criticize, judged or make them feel stupid for asking......after all we 'ARE' NEWBIE'S!

Fine.. here is my advise. Look up the term Keylogger. That is your answer.
