Is there a way I can view the Guest history?

I recently let a relative use my laptop under the Guest option, so they only had access to the internet. However, that persons MacBook is currently being repaired because the hard drive failed (from accessing unsafe sites., i.e. **** sites) and I am worried that they went to the same sites on my MacBook leaving me susceptible to the same malware and viruses they got on their own MacBook. Is there a way I can view the guest history once I am in the admin account to make sure they didn't go to those sites?

The whole point of a guest account is that it's temporary. When you log out of said account, whatever you did in regards to websites visited, files saved....it's all deleted. So, it's unlikely there's any malware or adware on your computer. Have you been experiencing any issues with your computer since they used it?

Edit: If you want to be sure that they can't access those sites, enable Parental Controls for the Guest account, and in the Web section, manually block known XXX sites so that when they try to access them, they'll get a message in the browser that says the site has been blocked.

Unless he or she knew your administrator password (which I hope not), a guest user would only be able to install malware that affected that account, and then only until logout. All files created by the guest user are deleted automatically on logout.

In addition to agreeing with PinkStones, I strongly question the assumption that the hard drive was in any way caused to fail by accessing unsafe sites. The worst that visiting unsafe sites might do is corrupt the directory on the hard drive but to actually cause to fail is highly unlikely.
