[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1084142, member: 56231"] You're in a very awkward situation in that the computer is not owned by you, therefore you cannot just erase/reformat the hard drive. In your situation you should identify ALL the questionable material you have loaded, or software you've altered/modified, on the computer, and remove or restore it - as required. You must however use: 1. uninstallers that came with the software you installed, or 2. a third-party uninstaller or 'cleaner', such as AppZapper or CleanApp. They will root out deeply entrenched files that you won't be able to find and deal with manually. I don't wish to be associated with any illegal activity you may have been doing, but answering your question, and as far as internet activity is concerned, reset the browser(s) you've used, ensuring that all cookies are deleted and caches emptied. Your final option is to do your best to restore things to what they should be, and, if "caught", 'fess up and plead for mercy! :| [/QUOTE]
