Bill, I got a computer question

Forget about a rebate, get an AV scanner now or stay off line. There are several free ones such as AVG and Avast. Also check out some of the Spyware related forums such as http://pcpitstop.invisionzone.com, they have a sub forum for viruses and spyware. I took a quick look but didn't see anything about clocks being changed, but post there and see what kind of feed back you get.

I agree, Vinny will probably have to remember to keep checking it and seeing where it gets off.
Vinny:
I bought Virus Scan V10 today and got it free after rebates. I'll install it tomorrow and be protected! :)
As far as checking the clock, I have been checking it but and this is a BIG BUT my son is totally oblivious of things like that. There are many times I go to bed and he's on the computer AND even sometimes the history is gone ... what ever happened to Playboy Magazines ...
Anyway, thanks for all the help and hopefully it will go away.

Do a check of where your son has been surfinging- you may be suprised. I was. Apparently, there are a lot of places that you can find free porn. No need to spend good money on magazines these days. :o
It took me many hours to undo all the damage from the spyware that these places slip into your PC. >:(
Now we have a firewall, spy killer software, spam blockers, virus scanns, etc.

When my step son lived at home my computer crashed or did funky things all the time....now I have no problem until he visits, coincidence?
Worst of all when he hit those teen years, he got into my Viagra :o.....By the time we found him he had 3rd degree burns on both hands ;) :D ;D 8) ::)

Bingo, this is where I am putting my bets if he is intentionally clearing the history. I can honestly say I've made in the thousands of dollars on PC calls that start out with the customer saying, "My kids, or my Grandkids....
