I am trying to find records of on line chat history within my computer. Without going into details of why, I would just say
we have had some problems with children on computer and phone calls from unknown individuals.

If anyone knows how to view these, or if there are any records kept on hard drive it would be very helpful. Since these problems began I have set computer so no one can use without permission, but I would still like too investigate issue further.
Thank you for any help,
Paul
