Maybe she’s downloaded a keylogger? It’s a software where you can download it to a victims computer and then everything you do, it will email the stuff to the installer.

It is possible to clear items in your history, but it seems like that won’t fix your problem.

Try deleting the browsing history, and if you don’t do anything bad why worry.

Antivirus and antispyware scanner might be able to detect it and tracking things can cause the scanner to rate it has malware.
Here are some free antivirus and antispyware programs

See if you can find anything with this(have to do it manually)

Also if you want email me at and give me some info about what programs startup by start then run then type msconfig
If you uncheck the right one you might be able to stop it from starting up

Deleting the browsing history won’t help
Comstar Computer has the right idea
I almost forgot download firefox and the keyscramber addon

You don’t. She’s doing it for your own good. You’ll thank her for it eventually.

Most moms and dads do this by way of KeyLoggers. The best way to protect yourself is know what they are doing to spy on you. Try running programs like HiJackThis or the AntiKeyLogger.exe programs.

You could click START, RUN and type in MSCONFIG

Then click the SERVICES tab, then click the HIDE ALL MICROSOFT SERVICES, then uncheck anything you don’t recognize.

Next, click the STARTUP tabe and remove the check marks next to everything except your Anivirus and if applicable, the Wi-Fi software.

Click APPLY and OK, then restart. You’ve just disabled any tracking software they may be using.

windows allows you to set up alternate identities, and you can set that up to require a password to log in
that would protect your computer
you can also block her ip address in your firewall to keep her computer from accessing yours
(go to her computer and do start-run programs-dos prompt and type in c:\icponfig to find out her ip address)

Why not try letting her see how much you can be trusted? If you are straight with her she’ll soon get bored. Sometimes its tough being a parent too. One of my boys is telling way too many lies to me these days. It makes me feel better when I find he’s told me the truth. Most of us fossils remember many of our own mistakes when we were younger. Now I see my boys make them all over again despite me trying to help them!
That really hurts!!!

EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG!.

look into this…get a live cd version of linux. like ubuntu.

pop it in, run it from the cd. it doesnt use your hard drive, or windows.
it runs completely in RAM your mom will be foiled again muahahah.

unless she has a hardware keylogger. just look on the back of your computer

First of all you change your Windows-drive file system to NT-file system.
Then make a windows logon/account and password protect it. It’ll ask to block your Documents for other users, just check it.

The other procedure is use some kinda history cleaner.

there is a possibility that your mom has installed some software like Golden-eye. It secrectly records what ever is being done on a system. If this is so, then try to uninstall it otherwise you’re GONE.
