This morning I could tell that one of the kids had been up in the middle of the night on the computer. I looked at the history and a site popped up with 3 hits under it. When I clicked on the history link nothing came up but when I typed in the .com that was on there it was a sex toys site! Is there anyway to tell what time that this occurred and if you click on the links under the .com part and it comes up blank is that what she saw?
I DO NOT want to have this conversation with her this morning. :bawl: My little girl!!! I know she was on here because she rearranged my Netflix queue to make a bunch of disney movies on the top of it. :banghead:

I remember reading an article in which charges were being filed against internet sites whose names were similar to children's websites -- just mispelled. So if you type Disnay instead of disney you get porn. Could be what happened with your daughter.
Lock your computer so you need to log on everytime you want to use it. The internet just isn't safe for kids.

1) Buy a router
2) Install router
3) Block sites
4) All is well

I never EVER let her on without me in the room. She doesn't understand but the disnay disney thing is reason #1. I tried to look up Princess Leia Lea Leah Laha whatever once and got a donkey show page. :bawl:
How do you block every site on the internet except Disney.com and Nickelodean.com?

I have tried several different spellings and can't get to that site, do you happen to remember the exact phrase??????

cyberpatrol and netnanny are both good solutions, but I would change your windows password to something that only you knew. that would solve the problem. she could no longer sign on without you actually typing the password in.

I set up user accounts for my kids. I then set up parental controls for each log-in. Even with nothing blocked, I can check up on their history...and the kids know that. :evillaugh:

Caution -- they might learn to clean up their tracks.

One need not have visited such sites. Some pop up as background addons to other websites. I've had some appear in my history after doing some genealogical research - completely unrelated and never visited, but looking incriminating to some people just because they show up.
