if temp internet files are found on my computer hard drive have these sites
been accessed from my computer or is it possible my internet is being hacked.
I have found various sites from when i was out and other members of the
family dont know any thing about them!!
Please help !

chances are that your family members are lying to you. if each family
member has his/her own password-protected user account, you'd be able to
tell who did what in seconds.

If you're trashing the current machine, no, you have nothing to worry about.

Before allowing other family members to use the new computer, please see...
