Please Help Me Clear Porn Off My Computer!!?
I have been looking at porn and (for reasons I won’t go into detail about) my computer is being checked by forensic investigators and if they find content that they believe to be inappropriate, my dad most likely won’t be allowed back home. Please help!!
I am really worried that if they do find stuff they may not believe that it was me who looked at it any way… <:-\
I know to delete history, temporary internet file and cookies but I think it can still be detected by professionals and I can't buy any clearing up programme things…
I need to make sure forensics can't find this stuff…
Unless you’re willing to drill at least 3 holes into your hard drive there is really nothing you can do. Deleting doesn’t erase the file only tells the computer it can use that file space. By damaging your hard drive the forensics can’t get access to it.
every key stroke made withen the last month can be found be computer forensic people….They have programs don’t you ever watch forensic files gosh! They can type in a general word like lets say someone is suspected he murdered his wife they can type in murder and see if that was typed into the computer recently….this website link I left below can help you I think…if it dosen’t just type in porn pc cleanup or something like that on google
is this a joke? what are you looking at thats so inappropriate that would not allow your dad to be allowed back in his home? and why is your computer being checked by forensic investigators? if its regular porn i dont understand why there would be a problem. if its regular porn and you really think its such a problem then just buy a new hard drive..
That’s a sticky situation, I would consider wiping your entire hard drive if it’s that serious, you could use a tool like a repartition software: http://www.softsea.com/review/Harddisk-Partitioner-PartitionStar.html
before that i would clean my registry and then see what happens, check out http://www.crawlingcomputer.com
Take out the hard drive and take a magnet. Rub the magnet all over the hard drive and throw the hard drive against the road until its smashed into little pieces. Afterwards put the contents in water and put in 4 AA batteries. That hard drive won’t have a single thing left on it.

The best thing you can do is formatting your hard disk, the best thing those professional can do is catching you in a hour, if they are trying any specialized technique. Good Luck !!
Well unless your lookng at child pornography…. or your a minor… but in that case what minor hasn’t taken a “peek”. I’ll just say 2 words: Disk Defragmentation. Look it up.
The only way to do that is to “zero” the drive or get a secure delete program. When your computer deletes files, it actually just drops pointers to them, but the content still exists on the hard drive. A few free programs exist that show you that recovery is easy. Pros can also use parity information to predict what used to be on the hard drive even if it has been re-written only once.
You’ll have to zero the drive multiple times, or do randomized writes multiple times to the entire drive. That or take an electro magnet to it. Thats your only chance of definitely not getting caught.
Seriously though, porn isnt gonna get your dad into trouble, unless you’ve been looking at kiddie porn.
