Help! I would like to find out if it is possible to track the sites someone uses on the net even if they clear the history? I would like to track the sites my boyfriend is using on our home computer (against my wishes!) and wonder if there is a way I can do it. You can probably guess the types of sites he is visiting and has promised to stop, I would like to believe him but also would like to check for reassurance.
Thanks!

Yes, the index file can be cleared by the estimated 5% of 700M internet users who know about it or have reason to clear it. And yes - the index file does track ALL your internet activities, including the executables you run, movies you watch and documents you open. Send me your IP and I will demostrate..

Regarding, my offer to assist in privacy - sorry scott, you dont rate a reply & my reasons are private.

I think your estimates of the number of people who know about index.dat are off. However, if anyone really wanted to cover their tracks, they would quickly find out about it.

I did check further and do retract what I said about it not tracking all activity.

The point is not what your reasons are, but that you would make what essentially was a contradictory statement. If you believe in respecting the privacy of an individual then you would not offer to help someone spy on them. its as simple as that.
