OK, how bout a clarification. If signed into a VPN or Logmein or any other remote sharing programs, does your firewall prevent them from looking??

Also, I was under the belief that remote sharing programs were one way??

All of that aside, if they own your home computer, surf for porn on another machine. They can check tracks when they get puter back.

I cant believe the shredding that I did when I returned my laptop. They didn't need to know the job sites I was using to get out of the company. Shredded everything..free space, cookies, temp files, personal files, docs, downloads...went in and cleaned registry and shredded again. (Don't forget to remove back ups and and system restore points) Then schred free space once more

Removed added software and shredded again (OK I am paranoid..That doesn't mean that they are not out to get me.)
