Sorry for the name change but it is for obvious reasons.
A while ago, DH and I had a huge row about his "secret" internet activity. He used to have a password on his account so never bothered deleting history so the odd occasion I got on it (when he accidently left it logged on) I came across allsorts from hardcore porn, gambling sites and secret messages to a woman on facebook. He denied it all of course but this is not the first time he'd lied and acted "dodgy" so I never believed him anyway. In the end he agreed to take the password off his profile so I could see what he was upto. (To "prove" he wasn't "Upto" anything. )
So this went well for a while, I went on his profile every now and again, the history was crystal clean, I worked out his password to facebook and had the odd nosy on there and that all seemed above board so after a bit I stopped checking on it so much.
Then one day, I got the urge to glance at his history when he'd left me on his profile looking on ebay. All clean apart from a google entry where he has searched for a porn site. This got me suspicious about everything else because he told me he didn't know how to delete history but from here, it looked like he must have done! He'd blatently been looking at porn yet there was no history of it.
So I checked his temp internet files and saw that they had been completely cleared. Why would he clear the temp files if he had nothing to hide???
So I downloaded a file that lets you bring up DELETED internet history. Its amazing, it tells you everything from what sites have been accessed, what time, date, everything.
So looking through the DELETED internet history I found that he had indeed gone back to the porn and had been on facebook (despite it being wiped from the history, why delete it if it was innocent?) and had been sending and receiving messages. He's also changed his facebook password all of a sudden. Something to do with that woman again??? why else would he do it?
Anyway there wasn't that much to go on so I played with this program and saw that it also kept a record of sites visited in PRIVATE mode (IE has a setting which lets you browse the web without leaving a trail of history/cookies/evidence behind you). In here was more facebooks, more porn sites etc.
Also, I have the password to his email address (he doesn't know this) and although he has been getting private messages on facebook, he's no longer being notified through hotmail like he used to be.
So in a nutshell - He's still doing dodgy stuff on the net and has no idea that I can see what he's upto. He's living in ignorent bliss thinking he's getting away with it all. I've not mentioned it to him yet, I'm having too much fun watching him make a fool of himself. Childish maybe but I'm sick to death of being lied to and treated like a mug.
But, one thing that is puzzling me - this morning he went online on HIS profile and logged into his bank. Logged back out. This was not in private mode. Yet when I checked the history there was no sign of that visit. How? he hasn't set IE to delete history on exit or anything like that so how has he managed that??
Lastly, anyone else know of any good tricks in catching someone out online? I'm worried he will inevitably change all his passwords and I'll be locked out of everything.
