We don't have anything installed to prevent inappropriate web site viewing (ok, learning lesson now) and I've discovered that someone (although according to 3 kids here, not them) viewed a site and I want to know who. Since I know exactly when each of these 3 were in the house alone, I'm wondering is it possible to discover an exact time as to when it was viewed? DH is out with the Navy (unreachable) and these computer geek kids of ours "claim" you can't get a time and that I (yes, me!) must have clicked on this site without realizing it! Oh, I don't think so!

A few years ago, I was teaching an Advanced PowerPoint course. I had the wife of a Baptist Youth Minister in the course. She was working on her homework at a youth lock-in at the church. The apparently didn't have a filter on their computer either. She had to go to an Internet site to download an outline. She accidentally left out a letter from the Web address and entered a porn site. She immediately tried to close the site by hitting the big red X only to open another. Flustered she just pulled the plug on the whole thing and lost what she had already done on the assignment. There were several of the teen girls in the room with her at the time so she had to explain to parents what happened when they came to pick up their DD's.
I've had the same thing happen in class and SOME of the students are so embarrassed. I've actually seen a few write down the address so they can check it out at home. The reactions have been sort of humorous. Please keep in mind that this is college so most of my students are over 18. Now I warn them all and tell them to double check the address before they enter.
To find the exact time is near impossible BUT we can try to out smart them for next time!!!
First /print this off once you have read it.Just went through these steps to make sure this will work for ya.
1-Go to the "START MENU"
2-Click on "CONTROL PANEL"
3-Go to "SECURITY CENTRE"
4-Click on "INTERNET OPTIONS"
5-Top tabs of reads Internet Properties
6-Click on "CONTENT"
7-Top choice is "CONTENT ADVISOR" ** Here you can put in a password so the changes you will make CANNOT be changed unless they guess the password. Pick something only hubby and you know.It drives them crazy!!
8-Next click SETTINGS"
9-Go through these carefully.They allow YOU to choose Ratings & Approved Sites or Non-approved. In the General tab,you can set up the password.I would advise you to leave the Advance tab alone.
Don't hesitate to recruit the help of a local computer geek.They get a kick out of outsmarting kids. Keep on it! :)
