how do I check history of web sites visited on my computer

At the top of the internet browser, there is a tab that says History on it. Click it and go to where it says Show All History. If the history has been cleared it can still be accessed, it's just more complicated.

I don't understand what you mean by the top of the internet browser

Are you using Internet Explorer, or Firefox, or... what are you using to browse websites?

 

Generally, under one of the menus at the top of the screen (File, Edit, View, etc.) there is an option to "Show History". In Firefox, History is the menu to the right of View. In IE, click the yellow star (Favorites Center), then History. From there, you can view the sites grouped by date range, or change the sort using the little black arrow next to the History button.

(In older versions of IE, it used to be a toolbar item represented by a little sundial.)

I have Windows Internet Explorer. The way for me to access history is to click on the yellow star near the top left of the screen (below the blue back arrow). Once I click that, it give days (today, yesterday, 1 week ago, etc). Click on that and it shows me what web sites were accessed. Maybe you can access it that way on your computer.
