My suggestion is get an afterschool job, pay for your own stuff(Dell Computer and dial up, may not be the top of the line but it works), then password protect everything to your satisfaction and log off whenever you leave.

Why are we still talking about this? Didn't about 15 different solutions arise and the most considerable one was putting a password on a new user setup? Besides, considering your how old? Your parents have every right to check up on you regardless of your personal feelings. As annoying as it may seem, they ARE legally bound to you and anything you consider to do in a dumb manner may get you in trouble and they are liable for you.

How old ARE you? If your parents are still checking up on you then you can't be much older than... 14? If you are, then you should be able to think up some clever way of HIDING your files and folder called..."Fuzzy Bunny Games".  

When I was around 15 my parents still threatened to scan my system, I finally told them if they did, expect a bat to their system for breaking my privacy. I'm not telling you to go to such extreme measures, but come on...this isn't exactly rocket science  8)

Your parents threatened to scan? My dad just found it more fun to scan while I was away and then yell at me when I got home...
Then again he did have a good reason to scan.

I think that, until you reach legal age at least, it's up to your parents to look out for your best interests, even if you don't think they're right.  My parents have almost never checked on me, on computer or otherwise, because they trust me.  They always know where I am, and what I'm doing, and I help out my mom all the time.  If I use their van, I put gas in it.

My point is, trust has to be earned, and I have earned it.  
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

Actually no my parents never "threatened" me or actually looked through my system. They just said they might I think to scare me into not doing anything that a typical kid would do. Fortunately I actually did tell them that I'd take a bat to their system and I wasn't nor am I still a typical kid because I know how to cover my tracks :)

Enjoy it while you can.  What goes around, comes around.

When your kids are your current age, they'll know how to cover their tracks, and you'll be clueless about their technology.

get a program or write your own =) to save your files to a portion of your disc, then mark that portion bad.
