I realize that you can select a private browsing session. Is there any way at all to still see and monitor where someone has been if they turn on private browsing? And, will it always display on the top of the window if they are in a Private Browsing session? I'm trying to figure out how I can monitor the places my kids go online-trying to keep them honest.

Thanks.

Private browsing keeps no records of sites visited, you will need a third-party program such as K9 Web Protection. It includes web filtering to block access to categories of sites that you choose, and it keeps logs of internet activity.
