I'd change your password so he can't get on your machine and then point him to https://www.dell.co.uk to buy himself a machine. Alternatively he could perhaps learn to respect your wishes.--

It could be worse, looking and getting a Virus is better than getting a Virus another way.;;One no A/v on here will get rid of;dithedancer wrote: »yes, 23n1th he will get his computer when he gets work, but no jobs available around here yet to enable him to afford one. i have told him but he doesn't understand what a virus is, maybe when he does get his own and goes on a computer course he will learn. at the moment he thinks i am psychic because i can tell him his browsing history. thanks to everyone i will try your ideas.0 -
Tell him not to surf for pron as there are loads of viruses out there and you can't afford to lose the data in your PC, tell him there are all manner of viruses from ones that kill the PC completely to pop ups ( sounds like his speciality:p) to ones that post messages blocking you from viewing rival sites pretending to be parental control ware...
then wait for him to tell you there's one of them virus things because it pops up that access is not allowed to the requested site ( just don't tell him it's because you've installed NEtnanny or similar;))
Good Luck - hope he gets a job soon - things must be hard for him right now! :grouphug:Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

But you're not so psychic you can tell how many hours a day he spends gawping at !!!!!! and.............. you know the rest.
Give him the gypsy's warning about his future if he can't respect you enough that he continues when you've told him to stop..................

Bend his index finger back until he screams out loud,thus rendering him unable to [STRIKE]toss[/STRIKE] type.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

As above, create another user account in Windows, setup parental controls and for double protection download the K9webprotection (that amusingly barks when trying to access a restricted site).
Personally I think you have deeper problems if your boyfriend is looking at !!!!!! despite you telling him not to. If you don't mind him looking at !!!!!! but "not on my computer", install a decent virus checker and let him knock himself out
