How do you know if your parents are monitoring you online?

Question

I just wondering if i can see if there is a software on my computer.

Answer 1

no they can't. but if you have an anti virus programme such as norton, then it may moniter certain things and your parental controls might be set. therefore they might be able to see what sites your going on. so i'd suggest not going on them, or check the firewall if you have one.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Go onto a "bad" site and if they yell at you for it then you'll know!!

Answer 4

You shouldn't be doing anything to have to worry about it.  If you are then they should be monitoring you.

Answer 5

Lol!  Don't even go there.  Trust me, I thought that deleting my history would work, but my dad could still find out what I was doing.  And NO I wasn't looking at p**n or some sick stuff like that, but I was spending way too much time on the computer so I wanted to hide it.  Be honest with yourself, and don't do anything that you might regret later on.  

Answer 6

HA my parents totally did this.  I figured it out though. I just looked at the icons on the side and checked out anything unfamiliar looking. They can hide it but once I restarted my computer it would show up and they would have to re-hide it again. But I did find it. However other softwares are different or course so I really don't know how you could tell. Just be careful.

There are also devices they can put in your car to track you and find out where you are ha yeeaah I got my license and my mother put a tracker in my car. I found it though. Was a little cell phone type thing in a box in my trunk. I found it and she didn't know so I messed with her head a little. Then confronted her. It was great because I'm really not a bad kid at all. She is just overprotective.

DIDN'T mean to give you my life story ha but my point is...always be careful because they do watch you. Mine are a little more psycho though. And I understand you probably aren't a bad kid but parents shouldn't know EVERYTHING. So I understand. Good luck.

Answer 7

Why do you care? Stay out of places you shouldn't be and behave appropriately online and it shouldn't matter.

Answer 8

prettie much no...

and dont do anything stupid online for your parents to  have to monitor you....

Answer 9

If you have a zone alarm and a little message pops up that says something about letting it monitor what you do, answer no and I am pretty sure your parents can't monitor you.

Answer 10

As a parent I can confidently say they are. :) Don't think that clearing search histories will help either.
