Is there any way at all to find out the download history of limewire in my computer even if the files have already been erased?

Depends on how advanced you want to make this

Deleted files can be recovered using various recovery programs unless they have been overwritten.

Your IP will show up in the monitor tab of any hosts that you are downloading from and what file you are downloading.

Also I'm pretty sure that if someone were to enable all logs in the console tab and save these. It would be possible to at least see that you have been sending requests/downloading from them and maybe even what files if this person/organisation had advanced knowledge in how to read the code.

BTW that third one is more a guess than anything else

Search history is cleared after closing LW. If you're downlding anything naughty, then anything that didn't finish downloading will still be in the incomplete folder.

What you are really after is Police powers and several search warrants, all I can say is "Thank Goodness these powers are not available to the general public".

If you don't trust your boyfriend then talk over your problems with him.

This lady Beadie does not trust her MAN, still if there is no trust in a relationship then there is no relationship.
