Busted w/ porn?

Here's the deal, i got a shitload of movies on the harddrive, all of them hidden in my folder. nobody in the house is smart enough to look for hidden files.

i also have games installed on my folder (instead program files), so you have to go thru my folder to access the games (to prevent access from network and such)

so, i was watching some clips yesterday, so i had to unhide them.

and i forgot to hide them when i was through.


so today, i was gone to college and my lil bro played gta3 on my pc. (which is put in my folder!!)

so, if he went to look for the gta folder, he would have seen like 25 different windows media player icons here and if he's remotely smart, would've figured it out.

he's also started hinting toward me about this, threatning me like "trust me, you dont wanna know what i have on you", and "i ahve something on u, and i dont wanna use it against you".

so i bet he knows, and if he tells my parents, i'm screwed. i bet i get the pc's taken away from my room.

so, what should i do?

here's one solution, i sign his email up in one of the pornsites, make him get shitload of porno emails (i know his pass, but he doesnt konw i know it, so i can log in and delete the initial email w/ the ip). so that way, i can just say i busted him and i can blackmail him w/ that as a leverage.

anyway, i need help

i'm missing the problem. you should be like, "what? you don't like looking at porn too? you can look anytime you want (except when you're on the comp) as long as you don't tell." and once he's looking, he's just as punishable as you.

otherwise, put the porn on cd and erase it as completely as you can from the hard drive.

Ah! It is your computer, so you can have whatever you want on your machine.

Come on man, you are older, yet you are afraid of your little brother, give me a break.

Just threaten him with some brotherly slaps.

can ask i old you are? (hoping and assuming you are of the required age of 18)

assuming you are legally "of age"... then it's really no one's business what you care to or don't care to have on your computer... INCLUDING your parents...

in regards to your little brother... who you say does play on your computer... i would burn your porn collection onto a cd and then delete it from the hard drive... that way, it's only seen by you, when you decide... makes it nice and easy that way.

Eh, Technically yes BUT as long as you just delete it and delete it from the recycle bin (assuming using windows) that is good enough for 99% of computer users. Its only when you got major computer hacker types trying to bust you on something that you have to worry past that.

Now this question has allready been asked but I am going to ask it again. You say you are going to college and I also assume you are atleast 18 just because you are posting on this board and that is a requirment... So whats the problem? I mean as long as this porn was legal ... There should be no problem. And you indicated that the computer was "yours" Plus you indicated your brother can not find hidden files but they were unhidden at the time. So hide them again. He will just assume you deleted them.

I have an idea... Simply put a password on the folders or the files in the folder.

Purging them is a good idea... Me personally... I bury my porn (at least the porn I used to have before I reformatted my drive) deep into some program folders... Then I encrypted the files using a free program I got off the internet.

Worked like a charm... until I forgot the password to uncrypt them. Stupid 256bit passwords... pissing me off!

Burn it onto a couple CD's, and then delete the entire folder
and get all those e-mails for your brother
he will get hundreds of them if you put his e-mail address down to get 'free' access to a bunch of sites

then just deny

but then again, you should probably just say yes, I have porn, you got a problem with that?

The rules are no porn? That Sucks! I wouldn't set your brother up with porn e-mails.... he will just tell on you and who do you think your parents are going to believe? College age = Porn..... Kid = Dragonball Z..... just change the location of the folder. or change the password to your computer so he can't use it.

hehe, i keep it burned on a CD as a backup that way i can quickly delete it if need be. My bro started hinting at me the same way yours did, but then i noticed the folders kept being accessed, so i knew he was still coming back for more! Anyway, i just move the folders around every once and a while, b/c i want to be safe if he decides to be an ass or someting

They probably know. All you need to do is keep it remotely hidden so that you avoid any awkwardness, after all they probably don't care but this doesn't mean they want to discuss it with you.
I say, like others here, that you should share it. Approach him before he tells your parents and ask him just what he thinks he has on you that could drop you in it.
Set him up with a password or whatever for the porn and games folder. If he still thinks porn is bad and if he is in any way homophobic a quick "Jeez, what are you, gay?' might persuade him that porn is great.
Good luck man...

heres a trick i use, rename all the files to some unconspicuous name, then Zip it with a password (winzip) when you want it, unzip, re name and your set. if you need a quick way to rename files, i can write you a program to do just that.

My kid brother knew I had tentacle anime lesbian porn on our PC (and I am a female) when we were both teenagers. Heck, he even came home once when I was having fun with my ex-bf and he never said anything to me or my then-bf even when he didn't obviously like the current bf. I didn't tell anything about him to parents, and he did the same favor for me. He got caught smoking (just cigarettes, but my mom hates smoking) when he was 18 and I was 20 and not living at home anymore, but at that point he ratted out to mum "but Suvi smokes too!" Mom calls me, I tell her that I did start when I was 15 and basically quit when I was 17, then smoked irregularly and started picking it up again at 19 (and now I've quit totally). I think my bro thought that since I am considered an adult by my parents now and the Good Kid anyways, the deal is off and I can defend myself if I have to argue with my mom. Which he was right about, I had wanted to talk about it and ask mom didn't she REALLY ever suspect anything. So, make your bro an ally if he seems trustworthy. If not, do you know something he wants not chat about with mom and dad?

Even if he is 18 he don't want to talk to his mother abt Porn. Hell I am 48 and be sure I am hiding mine before my mother comes for a vist Dude just follow some of the good advice you got on the board and don't sweat it. Chances are you Mom don't want to talk abt Porn with you either.

Ok here's how it goes....

no.1 your parents aren't gonna waste their damn time trying to recover all that porn if you have it deleted

no.2 if their isn't anything their no worriers

no.3 save it on rewritables or just move it to cd's

unless your parent is in the IT field you really don't have any worry about it

Heres what I did. Back in the day before the Forum I had shit loads of this stuff. I burned it all to CD and kept it in a safe place. In the event my sister ever caught me I had something on her. Whether it was sneaking out, drinking, whatever.... If your parents care about that stuff at 18 your truly whipped. Plus I caught my dad looking at it once, so i have never worried since. Just get it off the PC, no proof, no problem.

thanks for all the advice, here is what i did.


i locked the pc up using the xp user thing. so, when it boots up it asks for pass and i log off everytime i use it, so there is a small chance anyone will ever get on.

burn all that stuff to a cdrw is on my list of things to do, but i have a shitload of porn, i'm talking in the gig's (prolly got like 20-25 gigs on hard drive) and i got like 15 cd's already burned.

hopefully i'll burn it all one day.

I guess i'm just confused with your situation. I mean - my parents were strict, but they were also considerate of my privacy.
Finding a Playboy in my room meant finding it tossed in the kitchen trash - not thrown out of the house. I guess you'll just have to play it cool until you leave - and if you're smart, you'll follow my advice and take summer classes. When i moved out to go to school, I totally moved out. Best decision i ever made - and it's strengthend my relationship with my parents too.

I'm with FallenAvatar, you should be in the clear when it comes to porn at your age. Just be polite and make a sign that says "Do Not Disturb...Monkey Spanking In Progress" and hang it on your door during those porn sessions so your Mom doesnt accidently get traumatized by the site of you waxing your carrot, and then go tell on your lil' bro for scammin on your skin stash, or beat him within an inch of his life, which ever you prefer.

by the way, not to judge or anything, but 20-25 gigs of porn is what i might call an excessive amount. Not an illegal, "i should be on some federal law enforcement list", amount, but definitely ALOT.

By the way, for educatioanl purposes only of course, where could a guy get 20 gigs of porn?

I don't see how burning it onto CDs makes you safe. Someone finds the CDs, slips one in the 'puter and you're busted for sure. I'm with ^LJ (coz that's what I've done too).
