mammi - yes, it's not my computer. I get it. Thanks. I'm not going to delete anything, uninstall or install anything. That would just bring trouble. So the use of Spybot or Hijack is not an option. Cele - yes, any unathorized software or tampering with exiting softward is a no-no. Dark: Yes, if I connect this lap top to the net, they can remotly view anything and everything that is on my computer. Not only can they do this but they DO do this. I also have had my techs work on my desk top from a remote location via our intra-company net. Look, I'm not worried about getting fired. I'm not going to get fired. I just want to know what they know. I just want to know exactly what is installed on my computer that would be able to keep track of what or when I have watched DVDs on the laptop. Of course there is no way I'm going to watch a movie during work hours or while being connected to the inter-company net. That would be just plain stupid. In fact, I am at work now and using my own personal laptop which is connected by wireless to my own personal internet account. Therefore, the "computer police" cannot monitor this activity. Why am I not "working?" you may ask. Don't worry about it, I'm a salaried employee and I get the job done...the job that I'm being paid to do.
