How to Catch a Cheating Spouse on the Computer?

By Sabrina Summerfrield

Online chatting and dating is so common now that no one is safe now, whether married or not. An online affair or extra marital relationship is also a kind of cheating. That's is because, you are emotionally involved with another person other than your spouse. Physical contact is not necessary for cheating. These kind of relationships can also pollute your marriage so one must know how to catch a cheating spouse on the computer.

When you visit a website, it is recorded on the computer. So you can search for temporary files and cookies downloaded. Some spouses may delete the internet history, but there are ways to find out. If they have spent a lot of time in adult chat rooms or websites, then surely they are doing something they should not be doing.

If the information is inconclusive when checking the history of the web browsing on the computer, there are some other steps that can be taken to catch a cheating spouse. One is to have a type of spyware installed on the computer that tracks every website visited and every chat room or instant messenger session. These types of software have been used in the past by businesses to track people's movements on the internet and tailor ads specifically to that person's habits. In this sense, spyware is a bad thing to have on one's computer. On the other hand, if it is deliberately installed to monitor the movements of a spouse or a child on the internet by the computer owner, it can be a handy tool.

If the spouse is computer literate enough to know about and suspect spyware, there are alternative methods of determining where they have been. There are keystroke readers can be plugged into the computer these readers will record all of the keystrokes made on the computer. The keystroke reader will store all of the websites visited, passwords and even the conversations that have been made. When the potentially cheating spouse is absent, the keystroke reader can be removed and the data extracted to another computer.

Knowing how to catch a cheating spouse on the computer is the first step to getting the problem out in the open to be dealt with, either by separating and ending the marriage, or making the cheating spouse realize that something is wrong with the relationship and working toward resolving the problem.
