[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 17054, member: 1498"] One day after my soon-to-be ex stopped using my computer and had his own, I was going through my "Documents". I found a whooole lot of "documents" that I'm sure he didn't intend for me to find -- image type stuff. A lot of stuff got saved to the document folder when he opened them and he didn't know it. You may want to go through there an open things that you can't identify.... but make sure there are no kids around. You probably ought to download, update and run SpyBot and Ad-Aware. If they recommended removing something, it's pretty safe to remove it. Also activated the "Immunize" feature in SpyBot. I've never had a problem and I've been using both for years. If you don't have an updated anti-virus, AVG is a good one. All are free downloads. I know I had to run those programs fairly regularly when my husband was "playing cards" on line. Anyone want to hear about the "fishing trips"? Funny thing about how they don't think cleaned out history isn't a big red flag that they're trying to hide something. ETA: I should have mentioned that those three programs won't help you with finding out where people have been or what they have done on the computer. They just clean off the garbage that gets loaded on the computer -- pop-ups, viruses, trojans, etc -- that get placed on the computer when certain sites are accessed. [/QUOTE]
