I might not have any... But hypothetically i would stream it and make sure my browser settings are all set so that no history of any kind would be recorded. Then i would also use a program like Garry's Utilities to make sure my internet cache and temporary files are cleaned out.JinxyKatte said:
I have my own PC, but if your sharing one with your parents/family you should take all these precautions.
Handy for the person who owns the computer and/or internet connection if they have other users and don't want them to download porn.
Also, you can find that stuff pretty easy if the "guilty" party isn't more than beginner-level computer literate, but that would assume the searching party was intermediate to advanced. If the person downloading the porn has any computer knowledge, they can cover their tracks pretty easy.
Generally speaking; Mom isn't going to be more computer literate than Billy.

OT: I'm inclined to pull the "invasion of privacy" card again on this. It's much too easy to abuse.
Since it picks up images by using a photo analyzer, it might pick up anything because the program doesn't know an anatomical piece of the male body from, say, a carrot. I only matches images, so even if you don't have porn on your hard drive (what idiot would have it on their hard drive?) it will pick anything resembeling body parts.Tom Goldman said:Porn Detection Stick Will Find Your Hidden Stash
A new gadget has become popular due to its supposed ability to detect massive amounts of porn hidden on a computer.
The Porn Detection Stick from Paraben is a device that the majority of internet-using males should be horrified of. It's a USB dongle that, once plugged in, will search a hard drive for all pornography downloaded to it, even images that have been deleted.
It's currently being sold here [http://proofpronto.com/porn-detection-stick-by-paraben.html] for $98.95, which should make many breathe a sigh of relief as it's not cheap enough for mom to pick up on a whim. The advertised purpose behind the Porn Detection Stick is to "protect your family, business or organization" from the irreparable harm that porn can bring them. Mac porn-lovers rejoice, as it only works on Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
The product's description says: "The Porn Detection Stick uses advanced image analyzing algorithms that categorize images as potentially harmful by identifying facial features, flesh tone colors, image back grounds, body part shapes, and more. With less than 1% false positive indications, your search for contamination on your computer won't waste your time." It's admittedly not 100% accurate, but should give a good idea of the types of filthy images little Billy has been looking at after you've gone to sleep.
The Porn Detection Stick is living somewhat in the past, as it can only find images and not the newfangled moving pictures often found on the internet today. It really sounds like something being sold based on fear, as the description hints that porn is often downloaded to a computer even if you only visit Wikipedia to find information about unicorns, but I guess it's possible it could actually help someone, somewhere. And, of course, get a whole lot of people in trouble too.
