History of the Internet Solved

Question

Hello,
Quick question, I often surf the internet at my workplace. Since I clear my history before leaving, does my employer have the ability to see where I have surfed? If so, please tell me how to erase everything.
Note: A technician is coming soon to uninstall the computer I work on, he may change the hard drive but it's not certain, which is why I'm wondering.
Thank you for shedding light on my situation.

If the history is erased, it leaves less chance; if the temporary files are deleted, it will be even harder to know; if the cookies are erased, it will be nearly impossible to verify...
One thing remains much harder to get rid of: deleted files!!! With a small free file recovery software, we can at least see the names of those from the day, especially the cookies (which contain the name of the visited site) or the names of suspicious images or files. But such a search doesn't happen in 5 minutes, especially if there were 3000 files deleted that day!
The best option remains monitoring; see here for an inexpensive software: http://www.softcities.com/telecharger-the-pc-detective/35305.htm
I’m sure there are "free" ones, but you’ll have to search for yourself! ("software trace pc activity" on Google)
But be careful, there are also software that detect spies!!!

Hi,  I don't think your employer can see which sites you've visited; you need to clear the cookies and the history, unless there's a hard drive (server) that records all the visited sites...

I don't really know, what kind of company is it?  Does the boss really have time to see what his employees are doing online? ^^

In fact, as I mentioned earlier, there's a technician who is supposed to come to uninstall the computer I'm working on. He might change the hard drive, so he will be able to see. Thank you for your answers.

Did you erase everything? I don't think he's going to check what site you're visiting At worst, you delete the cookies and history and replace them with sites related to your work....

Already, no matter the browser, you don't need to delete the history every time you leave work
you set to 0 days the number of days these pages are kept (IE)
in my opinion, the IT guy has better things to do than looking for cookies

and by the way, at work, uh, are you working???

Of course the boss can find out, especially if you don't delete the temporary files. There are also automatic logs...
The worst part is that an IT person can see in real time which site you're on, or check it out at night in the logs of their server. When you leave the network, you go through the company's server, where everything is recorded. These stats at my company are incredible; you wonder when people actually work!!!

Hello,on the contrary, I would like to go and see where my boyfriend went surfing when I'm not around. He clears his history, but he must surely have another way to see where he surfed... can you tell me which one? Thank you.

aelle · Answer

Hello,

I'm in the same situation as you. Every time I find a new way to see the sites my boyfriend visits, he manages to uninstall the history or block the cookies in turn.
If you've found a way, I thank you in advance for explaining it to me.

Hi!  Is it so important for you to know where your husband or boyfriend surfs?? "Trust reigns...." O_o -- Forgive your enemies but never forget their names...

If there is a proxy, we can see the visited sites, or if there is a dedicated server for recording the web pages visited.

oto6 · Answer

There are "spy" software programs that you can install yourself, which track everything that PC users do; you just need to search on the Internet. I don't use that kind of stuff, but I've already "discovered" some in certain offices at my company!
It logs everything in a small text file...

And in the case where everything has been deleted from the history, are there still traces left?

And here we go! A little page in French with tons of surveillance software, it will save you the trouble of searching:

Why don't you ask your ISP? They should know.

Hello ... some clarifications from an IT professional ...
Yes, it is possible to recover deleted files even after formatting ... even after several formats ... deletion only erases the file's indexing ... that is, the indication of where it is located ... but specialized software is required, and one must know how to use it ... there are even several companies in France that offer data recovery on malfunctioning hard drives (it is very expensive ... )
A hard drive corresponds, to put it simply, to an old magnetic video or audio cassette ... the clusters are magnetized (orientation of a Weiss domain) by the read heads with precise addressing and indexing kept in memory ... given the rotation speed of a disk (up to 15,000 RPM), the entirety of a file is not "written" consecutively on the disk ... this is fragmentation, but indexing and addressing allow the disk and the PC to find their way around ... this is a very simplified explanation ...

As an employer myself, I find it quite disappointing to act like this; you're messing with your pay. If I catch you acting this way, you'll see where I would put my foot. Plus, my employee is well aware not to erase the history on his computer, because he would have answers to give me, and he would be out the door pretty quickly.
