231217	2004-04-22 11:45:00	Geez you guys, you had to go and hijack my thread, didn't you? :p :D > I think you probably do have to actually visit a web site for its details to go into the history and index . dat . That is what I suspect (but would rather not believe . . . ) . > Hmm . . . . you could visit an innocent seeming page (eg . microsoft . com) that contains a dodgy frame (eg . dodgygirlsarehere . com) which would save both urls to the internet cache . Is that a guess or have you actually experienced that? > Now you don't have to visit porn sites, in fact, depending on what sites you visit that are considered bad taste you'd find a lot of advertising that helps maintain the sites . The advertising is enough to put cookies, images and what not in your temporary internet folder . That makes more sense to me . But what do the urls look like in the Temp Internet folder? They would be suffixed with * . gif and * . jpg wouldn't they? What about the ones ending in * . htm and * . html? I understand those to be actual visited pages . > I prefer the honest people though, who really don't care and say they do visit those sites, because I'm not there to judge them on what they do, only there to fix their problems . Same here . I keep my mouth shut and couldn't care less what other people do on their computer - as long as it doesn't adversely affect me, directly or indirectly . > Does the cleanup solution remove the history shown in the registry? The registry also stores URL that have been visited, keeping track of recent sites etc . > I haven't come across a program that actually cleans the registry of URLs visited . This particular computer has Win ME and I had a hellava battle getting rid of those files until I used EasyCleaner . That fixed 'em . ;-)	Susan B (19)

231219	2004-04-22 12:07:00	Actually ccleaner cleaned up well. But what came out of this, is through stevierays suggested program, Winspy, I was able to nosey through the index.dat and can tell you that you do not have to visit a site for it to be listed. I have various sites listed, but not visited such as doubleclick and count.paycounter, which indicates that links to other sites, on the page you visit, can be listed.	Pheonix (280)

Definitly yes . I once saved an account when I worked on an ISP helpdesk . . . the wife phoned up to complain about all the porn WE were pouring into her computer! hehe I made it clear to her that the problem existed between chair and keyboard - she immediately became extremely suspicious of her hubby . So I saved the day by elaborating on how these things can sometimes be strayed upon inadvertantly . (the hubbie still hasn't sent me a case of beer!)	Greg S (201)
231221	2004-04-22 22:45:00	Don't forget though, that someone with a budding medical interest (ummm gynocology for instance?) could actually go to the wrong sites while doing a google ;-)	Greg S (201)
231222	2004-04-22 23:24:00	> someone with a budding medical interest... could actually go to the wrong sites while doing a google Ah, but that's why we have Medical Encyclopaedias at home :p	agent (30)

231224	2004-04-23 00:04:00	Thanks very much for all the information provided, guys, I really appreciate your "bravery" in helping me out with this one . :D Got a much clearer picture of the issue now which has saved a certain person from being dragged off to his missus by the ear . :p :D Just kidding . . . . . :p > It doesn't have to be a porn site either, some warez sites give you porn popups like there's no tomorrow . Yes Pheonix, one of my tribe found that out on a cheat site, a fact that I discovered a bit after the event when going through the index . dat with Spider . Poor thing was quaking in his boots when I bailed him up about it and the very fact that he was "caught out" has prevented any further deliberate browsing of such sites . ;-) Thanks for the link to CCleaner, I have downloaded it and will give it a spin sometime soon . > I was able to nosey through the index . dat and can tell you that you do not have to visit a site for it to be listed . I have various sites listed, but not visited such as doubleclick and count . paycounter, which indicates that links to other sites, on the page you visit, can be listed . Excellent information . :-) The Winspy program does looks good, a bit like Spider in that you can view the index . dat files, but it isn't free . Might give it a trial run though, in case it could be worth the investment . Am tempted to comment on other posts here but don't want to push my luck by ruffling Bruce's feathers (family forum, see . . . . ) so will just have to bite my lip . ;-) Incidentally, I remember a couple of years ago an ISP bigwig interviewed in PC World said that 90% of internet traffic is pornography . :O	Susan B (19)
231225	2004-04-23 00:17:00	Well Susan I must say it's a pretty interesting question you have posed. I was immensely curious so I enlisted the help of my flatmate (who is still serving punishment for his taste in adult entertainment). We went to a few porn sites, most of them were those thumbnail galleries and quite a few of them lead to the actual gallery but then there were those that simply opened another thumbnail site, along with the occassional Evidence Eliminator ad page. We did this for about an hour (we noted down the urls of the pop-up pages or the ones that were simply more thumbnail galleries as well as the title of the page) We then went into the Temp Internet Files folder to have a look and see if we could match any of the files with the ones we had in the list we had made.... and all of them were there, right down to the Evidence Eliminator ad. So this brings me to my next point.... Quote - Susan B "What I am interested to know is whether one would have to actually visit those sites in order to get the urls into the temp internet/history?" Now if you're asking if the pop-up pages appear in the Temp Internet Files folder then the answer is YES On the other hand if you're talking about the links embedded within the actual page with the porn content that you're on... then I'd have to say the answer is NO This is of course bearing in mind that urls (their associated webpages & files)will only be stored in the Temp Internet Files Folder if that page is in fact accessed by Internet Explorer. I hope that was what you meant and I hope it makes sense... Ok I'm off to CHURCH to CONFESS my sins (I'm sure God will forgive me) after all it was the for the benefit of the rest of mankind (well at least all F1'ers) cheers chiefnz	chiefnz (545)
