Number 7,
It was wrong of them to check your computer. However, they may have found it accidentally. You are correct in not trying to put them on the defensive. Parents hate that and it makes us angry.
Believe me, your parent's hearts are broken. They think that they have failed you somehow. They will talk to a therapist and find out that it isn't so uncommon and calm down.
I suggest you rename your favs something like "google scholar"!
Good luck. Be on your best behavior, they are watching!
