My brother used your computer and looked up some bad things on WikiAnswers if my dad ever comes up here 2 my room and looks something up on here and sees the history hes gonna kill me?

Answer 1

Erase the history on your computer. Here's how:

In internet Explorer, where it says "File Edit View", go to Tools and click on Internet Options.

Then it should say a whole bunch of stuff about your homepage, but click Delete Cookies and then click Ok...THEN go to history (which should be a button above your address bar on the screen) and click it.

Close the Today thing then RIGHT click on 3 Weeks Ago, 2 Weeks Ago, Last Week, and Today and click Delete.

That should do it, but if your dad finds out some magical way anyway, then just tell him the truth. "[Your brother] did it! I deleted all the history so you wouldn't see and think it was me. I don't know how you found out, but you did and it was him not me!"
But don't tell him that unless he finds out even AFTER you delete all the cookies and History.. GOOD LUCK!

And next time tell your brother that if he does it again you're going to tell dad. Make sure he doesn't use your computer to do it. If he does anyway, tell your dad or keep erasing the history & stuff (which can get annoying sometimes) .

If I was his dad, I'd still find it. You didn't delete the Temporary Internet Files. (Which is under the same location, Tools --> Internet Options).

However, I'd like to point out that HONESTY is the best POLICY. The second that you see something unsavory on your computer, stop what you're doing, and tell your dad. "Dad, I was about to use my computer, but there's some questionable things on here I think you should be aware of, so that I don't get blamed."

As a father, I would respect and appreciate that kind of honesty. It builds trust.
