He now took my friends computer away and said he is going to look at her emails and the INSTANT MESSAGES is it even possiable to look back on instant messages that were not saved ??? please let me know SOOON or I may be in trouble to ???!!!

Answer #1

does he have any of her passwords?

Answer #2

I don’t think its possible unless your a really smart person who can hack anything like a computer or its software … otherwise you should be safe … but always watch what you talk about when your are on aim … you never know …

Answer #3

Its possible to get those messages with the right knowledge.. You should be careful of what you say on those things, you never know who is watching or what might happen…

Answer #4

GIRL, I USED TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING… WITH MY DAD..ONLY MY DAD WAS A COMPUTER TECH,IT SPECIALIST AND ALL OF THE ABOVE, HE KNEW ALL THE HACKING TRICKS IN THE BOOK, SO I WAS SCREWD, AND AT TIMES MY DAD DIDNT TRUST ME AND I KNOW HE WENT THROUGH MY PERSONAL EMAILS AND THAT WAS SO OFFENDING,BUT UNLESS HER DAD KNOWS ALL THAT COMPUTER STUFF YOU SHOULD BE SAFE…RULE OF THUMB: ‘IF YOU DONT WANT NO ONE ELSE TO KNOW YOUR 411 THEN DONT PUT YOUR BUSINESS OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET…”

Answer #5

I don’t know if hes got her passwords but I’m nervous because hes the kind of guy that would chew my butt and I’m not even his daughter !!

ok so if I would get caught also along with her what could I say to back him off

my friend is a girl and I’m a girl we talk about girl things and guys and of course us that we would never tell our parents !!! OMG what can I say ?? please tell me

Answer #6

I can only wonder what you said on that messenger to get so panicked over this.

Yes, there are plenty of ways to read what has been sent on an instant messenger, even if they weren’t saved by the program itself. The rule of thumb is – if you don’t want someone to see it, you shouldn’t be using a machine anyone can access.

Fortunately for you and your friend, most of the ways to read unsaved messages are not layman-friendly, so unless your friend’s father is an IT specialist, I would say it’s safe to relax.

Answer #7

I agree with riverat87 … with less yelling.
