Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
well yescause they need to know the website that they are paying for like if they need to find the one that is 75 dollars then they look bt sometimes you can call the place and tell them to take that off but not all the times

A general rule is that if someone can physically access access your computer, it is impossible to hide anything from them.
You can make it more difficult, though, by using CCleaner:

These should be selected:
-Windows-
*Temporary Internet Files
*Cookies (This will log you out of all sites)
*History
*Recently Typed URLs
*Delete Index.dat files
*Recent Documents (if you downoaded anything)
*Other Explorer MRUs (if you downloaded anything)
*Thumnail cache (if you downloaded anything)
*Empty Recycle bin (if you downloaded anything)
*Temporary Files (if you downloaded anything)
*Clipboard
-Applications
*If you use a browser other than IE, select cookies, history, and cache.
*Any programs that you used for viewing porn, including your media player or image viewer
!!If Adobe Flash Player is selected, you will lose savegames and stats for online Flash games. Only select this if you don't play online games.
After that, you should also create a new system restore in start -> all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> system restore. Then delete all other system restores in start -> all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> disk cleanup -> "more options" tab -> bottom button.
To prevent any of the data you just deleted from being recovered, you can download Eraser and erase unused space. Only 1 pass is necessary:

Alternatively, defragmenting your computer will make it more difficult to recover data. That method is not as secure as using Eraser.
The websites you visit will not be on your bill. The bill would be hundreds of pages long, and it would be expensive to list it in a human-readable format.
To ensure almost complete privacy, you can run PortableFirefox from a Truecrypt volume:

It's a bit difficult to set up. Contact me if you need help.

Your parents have no way of knowing that you visit dirty websites unless you order or subscribe to something as well as downloading. Downloading may be the problem, Once you open a dirty website whether it has been deleted from the browser it automatically stores files into the hard drive as well as viruses. The only way someone could know that you've been into those types of websites is if they go through the computer and search for the files and clean out the hard drive. I would recommend NOT visiting porn sites only because it is the top thing that will ruin your computer. Trust me, I've had that problem before I got one so bad it crashed my computer and I had to go out and spend tons of money to get a new one. Argh! I should of known better seeing I work on computers for a living!
