Removing evidence of poker from a computer
 

I have removed everything I can find including all programs, registry keys, temporary internet files etc.

My computer is almost clean with the exception of four links under the Tools menu in Internet Explorer. There are links to the Party Skins that won't go away.

Can anyone help me get rid of these, please?

Search for those files? Maybe under Start Menu blah blah blah

Search in the registry also- should show up under MS or IE somewhere

Log in as admin and delete your index.dat file for the user that you normally log in as.

All I can think of off the top of my head

Oh yeah, disconnect from the Internet first, then do all of the above.

This program will help you get rid of the Internet Explorer stuff. Be careful with it though, it will also allow you to delete stuff you might want to keep.

Thanks. These are things I hadn't thought of and didn't know about.

Why do you need to remove evidence of poker from your computer? Are the Feds after you? If so that would definately make an exciting post.

Delete the keys under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Type regedit in the start-run box
Navigate to above location
Delete necessary keys.

Hope this helps.

Not exactly.

I have a work laptop at a university, and that computer and I just became government property.

One of my quality-of-life goals is to stay out of Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

Thanks for your help.

Hah! The scorched earth policy is not an option.

Anyway, it's done and I'm not concerned about that last little bit. They'll have to be looking for what's left to find it and then will have to have a reason to pursue it any further which they won't.

Thanks for all your help. I'm sorry the outcome wasn't more entertaining...
