I can tell you this, at the moment although the UK government is trying to push through legislation whereby they can spy on all UK citizens web activities, that law has not been passed yet.

Although, it is possible that an official can ask your ISP for a record of your web usuage but, I guess, you would have to do something (or be suspected of something) before that can happen.

As far as I know, snooping does not happen randomly it has to be targetted.

So unless some official has got a grudge against you and/or you (or a member of your family) have done something that warrants scrutiny then you are safe.

Thanks for that Bob, so in other words there will of been noone watching my computer to see
what was done....

This is confusing, so unless someone was physically watching my computer its safe to say i'll be ok.... s the chances of someone watching my computer are pretty slim.. I suppose when i think about it, pople who are caught are always caught with lots of images and videos and i suppose they are caught cause they pay by credit card or somethink like that...

Sorry Woodnights

I think you have misunderstood what I have tried to relay.

Now, someone doesn't have to physically watch your PC to catch you doing something wrong, all they have to do is pick up your electronic trail and your ISP has that.

What I am saying is that if you or your family are suspected of something an official can ask your ISP for the records of your web activities. However, if you are an ordinary law abiding and tax paying guy then no official will have reason to ask for your web activities.
