i had to clean a friends computer. go to "tools",
Internet options". click on "clear history", click "yes"
if asked. also click on "delete cookies" and "delete
files" ...."yes" as well.

i dont think anything is left inside your OS unless your
son down loaded a program to let him "view porn better"
if that is the case you may have to go looking for it:
possible in add/remove programs

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Meanwhile you can download this HOSTS file which will blocked the site from
your computer.
The best way is to block the server from tracking you in the first place
Blocking Ads with a Hosts File and AdShield. Under the Security Tab download
the hosts.zip file.
