Looking for some help to remove evidence of unofficial software from a company laptop.
My works laptop installation of windows is corrupted. It won’t get past an error message just at the start of booting.
Now, I have managed to boot from a Linux disc and have got all my files and stuff off, all is good there.
The problem I have is that we are given admin rights to allow us to install occasional items of specialist software, which we can buy a one off licence and install. However, I have also installed a couple of programs that would not look good if they are noticed by the IT bods. a copy of uTorrent doesn’t look good!
Is there anyway of removing things from the windows directories that will remove any evidence of the previous installations using Linux or should I just wipe the whole drive?
Any suggestions?
