It doesn't really matter how much he wipes the hard drive. If he works at an office that has a firewall, all the websites are tracked. AND, he works for the government, so I KNOW that they use proxy/firewall. Wipe the internet explorer files and call it good. Typically network guys aren't concerned with what websites you've been to if they aren't PORN.
If he is that nervous about it, he should have gone to the library. -----Original Message----- From: Hauptmann, Eric [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:32 AM To: Audi List (E-mail); 16V-list (E-mail) Subject: [a2-16v-list] OT Computer clean up Sorry to bug you with this, but a friend of mine asked me a question and i'm not sure I know the answer. He has been doing some job searching while at work (doesn't have computer at home) and wants to make sure everything is cleaned out because his network guys are going to do some work on his computer and he doesn't want anyone to know. I told him to first delete his temporary internet files, cookies and the index.dat file but is there anything else? I've heard that these files can be retrieved even after deleted, is this true? Normally I would say just delete and you will be safe, but he works for the Government and I guess they are getting more strict about what you can and cannot do on your computer and supposedly they're trying to "clean up" the computers. Anyway, thanks for the help.
