[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 98684, member: 1233"] Sounds like you parents did a great job!! It is never easy to handle this stuff. Do you have a plan to keep them off the computer when you are not home? I have seen fingerprint systems for computers in the past. Anyway, relax and enjoy the weekend. If nothing else, this should reassure you that husband CAN keep his cool! And hopefully this will end. One thing just occurred to me. There are MANY file sharing programs kids use. Often toshare stuff with friends. The big ole BUT is coming, wait for it... BUT there is very little control over who accesses the computer through the internet. We have a lovely computer in our living room for the kids. It was given to us by husband's stepmom's granddaughter. She was in college, did the file sharing stuff. Someone "hijacked" her computer and used it as a zombie. This is a relay to help hide the real perv's identity. There was some scary stuff. Luckily NOT child related, but it could have gotten nasty. Eventually the computer locked up. it took my husband 5 complete weekends to rehab this computer. Mostly to clean it up enough to format all the drives or whatever so that it was wiped clean. We wiped all the drives. There is a slim chance that if either kid is file sharing this could happen. Susie [/QUOTE]
