I have bad news for you friend…go poke around in ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player. I think you’ll be surprised. There are some files that even private browsing is powerless to stop.

THANK YOU, I didn't know about that folder and their was some very incriminating stuffs in there!! ;)
 
....and now my girlfriend, who is an IT major, wants to use my computer to "learn" how to do data recovery on Macs.

So, the question is: how the **** do I delete any traces of websites viewed and porn downloaded before I give my laptop to her?

I'm talking temporary files, db files, caches, the works - everything. This bitch is gonna tear my **** up if she catches me looking at porn.

I've reset Safari and deleted all porn from my computer, but there's still got to be files that show I've viewed porn right? How the **** do I get rid of those?

I'm on 10.6.

Thanks for helping a brother out!

Good, you did all the easy things. Now for the hard part, delete porn from your heart and mind. It is a man killer, a destroyer of character. It's addictive and it will simply get worst if you take it lightly.

Yeah
Just as people who try pot will move on to cocaine and crack, and end up dieing from an overdose.

Buzz killers.
 
I just looked on the macromedia files. Although I haven't been on porn on my mac there are a few sites that I don't recognise the website names and when i trowl through the multiple files some say tracking etc.

Shall I delete all?

If you had a mac pro, I'd just say swap out your HD with a cheap one that's clean. ;)

I'm gonna say go with the 35 pass option. :D
 
buy a new hd, put it in and do a fresh install

I see from your .sig you say you love your 20th anniversary Macintosh. If he wants to love his potential future 20th anniversary wife some day, he might want to use a different strategy. :) Otherwise, his relationship may not last long enough to have a wife, nevermind enjoy a 20th anniversary. He has choices of what to tell her:

"Honey, I enjoy viewing porn, and I have a lot of it on my hard drive. You may find some. If that offends you, please don't view graphics files on my computer."

or

"Honey, I don't feel comfortable in having you nosing around my computer because that makes me feel like you don't trust me. I hope you understand."

or

"Honey, I'd prefer you didn't use my computer for your experimentation for various reasons including risk of data loss. May I suggest buying an inexpensive older used Mac off eBay or Craigslist? Or you could practice file recovery with even more inexpensive used PCs as the techniques involved are generally similar."

No need to go to all the hassle or time spent to do a cover up. When you do cover-ups, it's usually the act of doing a cover-up that kills your reputation much faster than whatever the misdeed being covered up was.

You’re not gonna try and get me to accept Jesus, are you?

(Just in case anyone takes that the wrong way, I don’t mean any offense to Christians, I’m only referring to the really Evangelicals that are always trying to “save” people and telling them that practically everything they do is wrong).
 
Best thread ever!

OP, tell her the truth: Either she will surprise you and show you her freaky side or you will get to see the true evil within and decide if you want to keep her around. Better to find out now than loose half your stuff to her in a few years. Or if you have the $$$ buy her her own macbook!


If you choose to get rid of your collection (NNNNoooooooo!!!) than you can use a guide put together by Phoenix local radio station www.98kupd.com called the "Pause & Toss" specifically for dudes that have women that will not allow porn. These are the movies you can display in your movie collection and not have people know the real reason you own it.... for the great, non-porno, porno scenes ! Watch the collection grow and play along at home. They ask every celebrity that they interview which movies to include.

Porn is a good outlet to let off some steam (did I say it right?) I mean, what would you women rather have? Your guy hitting it off with other women or be faithful and watch some porn instead? :D

What does THAT have to do with the effects that porn has on anyone regardless of his/her worldview?
