How does my wife find out what sites I have been surfing on the internet?

I clear my history, temporary internet files and all cookies. This holds true to when law enforcement confiscates computers. How do they see the history that I can't delete??

    It's called the index.dat file. Looks like you're using Internet Explorer. It is possible to clear all history when using IE, but it is very tedious. There are many places IE hides your history.

    The best thing to do would be to use Mozilla Firefox. It allows you to clear all history, temporary files, cookies, etc., automatically when you exit the program.

    Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/TYHbL

    Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

    It's not for me to crticize or pass judgment on the activities of another human being, so, although I do not surf porn I have broken at least 7 of the 10 Commandments and therefore am glad to answer your question.

    The sharpies that investigate your PC for evidence simply ACCESS your REGISTRY where everything is kept until it is removed, even after your cleaning of temps,history,cookies etc.

    So if you want to avoid this you will have to either:

    (1) Ask a trained techie to show you, step by step how to enter and clean the Registry items that you wish removed

    )backing up your registry first so you can always recover if you make a mistake) or

    (2) Go to Google and search for "Registry Tutorials", then learn on your own to go to start, run, "regedit" and do the cleanup yourself. (You will have to learn the names, sometimes a bit obscure of those sites but there will be tell-tale signs, perhaps one word or initial. Dates are also important to help you find those sites to remove).

    The magic word is "regedit". Just go to start, run and type in the word "regedit" and press go.

    DON'T mess wirth anything just yet because you don't know how but you can at least look at that wonderful registry.

    Good luck.

    I think you should be a bit more concerned about why you are being disrespectful of your wife, and going to sites that you have to clear.

    Good luck with your marriage, you are not making the best choices to make your wife feel as if you are trustworthy.

    If you delete the information it is still there.

    You have to perform a "secure delete" to remove information permanently. This is the only real way to erase information off of magnetic media. This works by encrypting the data and deleting it many times over until its nothing more than unreadable code. Shredding is another technique but not nearly as effective. Also. The US Dept of Defense endorse "secure delete" as the only way to permanently remove data. Check out this link.

    With a special program. So if your going to sites your wife doesn't like, then I'm willing to bet they aren't the type you should be going to.

    History remains in the index.dat files, even after it has been "deleted". Anyone with a small free software can decode these hex files into plain text. (SuperWinSpy)

    The procedure is here:

    regardless if you clear the temp files there is another temp folder that does not clear. I could be wrong on this but check this path...

    c:/windows>system32>temp

    like i said there is another folder that stores the info but does not clear.
