many thanks for all the replies ive had and this is the full account of what happened,as you can tell me and my husband are no experts and that is why we need help.he is accussed of accesing the landslide site in 1999.this shows images of child porn.the computer we have now has been checked by the police and no images where found at all,however this is not the computer we had 4 years ago.he uses the net for loads of things and has given his credit card details to over 40 sites.the police have his name address.credit card details and e mail address.he is innocent but without more knowledge we dont understand how someone could have done this?they state that it must be him as his details were used.if anyone can help us then we will always be grateful.if someone used his details the police recken a password would have been sent to access the site,how can someone use his details and get an e mail sent to an address so we never even knew about it?.the isp is freeserve[an english company] will they be able to show his innocence as they must have records even 4 years ago.can they show that this site was accessed via a different phone line?he is in a terrible state as all the evidence is his but we both know he didnt do it.please please help us with your knowledge of how computer work,manymany thanks
