How do you wipe all traces of Absolute from your PC?

Using Windows XP.

I thought I'd erased it completely months ago, but when I reinstalled it today, I was surprised to see my account name and password still sitting there...

Try clearing your cookies. If that doesnt work, you could restore your computer back to a point before the software was on it.

you probably need to go into your registry and clear all the ABsolute references.

Caution - Only do this if you know what you are doing. You could trash your operating system completely.

You COULD reformat your hard drive if you really needed to.

Why would you need to do this though?

Could it be possible that they log your IP?

Nah, I've switched IPs since then.

To the guy who asked me why I want to do this, it has to do with that which is unmentionable here >_>
