A comuter product question

I head of something that can track where you go on the internet. It’s something that you can order. Can anyone who knows what I’m talking about or know anything like these give me a link to a page about them?

Er… Do you mean spyware? O_o

No. It’s someting you can order.

Your computer might be broadcasting an ip adress?

I think he wants software that logs a user’s internet activity.

Those would be keylogger programs… there are legal ones out there… but… that’s not very nice :stuck_out_tongue:

That might be it. I know, it isn’t very nice. My parents are the ones doing it though! They’ll probably get me my own computer soon and they are going to put that in there so they can catch me looking at porn or something reason enough to kick me off. Fuckers. So I wanna find someway to disable it or shut it off. Of course they don’t know I know which just makes it easier.

Well, until you find out what it is you could just run in safe mode, should automatically disable whatever it is. Only temporary fix though.
Never really bothered to check them out, but you could try typing ‘msconfig’ in run, click on startup tab, and look for anything suspicious(for windows xp).

I forgot since it’s been so long, how do you enter safemode?

You could just try running adaware or spybot, that’ll kill you key logger, but it also a dead guve away you’ve disabled it.

Acutally, there are ways to start programs other than msconfig… my grandparents computer had a keylogger program on it, and spybot couldnt remove it, and Adaware didnt even detect it. So… ya… not sure.

I don’t really want to dissable it I just want to either shut it off at my whim. Or get into it and change the information to my preferances.
