wow she's as bad as my mom. how old are you? if you're like 15....she shouldn't be looking at everything you do, that's a violation of your privacy!! my mom had this place blocked but luckily for me she doesn't have the thing you do. I'm sorry what your mom did. only way I guess is to be careful

Depending on the kind of parental control system installed, there are a couple strategies to keep your privacy safe.

Crypt your transmissions: eMails are sent in plain clear form through the 'net, so it is quite easy for curious eyes to have a look at their content. Same for instant chat messenging. One solution to protect yourself there is to use crypting software. What is available depends on what you are using; for example, I use Enigmail for Thunderbird as eMail encryption, and Pidgin-Encryption for protected chat. Somebody spying will be able to see you are exchanging messages, but wouldn't be able to get their content.

Use proxies: By default, when you visit a website, your browser 'talks' directly with the remote computer hosting that website. A spying software could detect to which remote computers it talked to, block some of them, etc. A common solution that often works is using a proxy. A proxy is a remote computer that forwards requests for you. When using one, your browser talks only with the proxy, which, in turn, talks with the rest of the world. It is then somewhat more difficult for the spy to control what's going on.

Use Windows's Failsafe Mode: In failsafe mode, most Windows services are not started - it often includes parental control systems. This is also often a good way to disable such systems.

Use firewalls to your advantage: A firewall is a software that can block network connections to be established from/to your computer. If the control software is operated remotely, then you can try to use the computer firewall to block it.

Use a LiveCD system: If nothing else works, you can still download a LiveCD system - that is, a CD/DVD that is bootable and contains a complete working environment (including a web browser, chat apps, etc). If you start the computer from it, then the parental control system doesn't get a chance to be launched.

Ask your mum: And try to tell her that, as in other fields of your life, you need some decent amount of privacy. Yeah, I know, a lot of parents don't understand that, but you risk nothing asking - that's the first thing I"d try anyway :).

Google should definitely help you finding more infos on those topics, but that should help you to know what you need to look after.

Hope this helps!

Darkwoon has given you all the technical options open to you.
I'm curious as to why you haven't just tried talking to her about it. I would of thought that speaking to her and asking her to remove the parental blocking thingy would be the best way to try and get it removed, without using something related to the actual computer - which in turn might not work or be found by your mom.
