Should I be concerned about sites my soon-to-be-ex is accessing?

Needless to say, the computer issue is solved by moving across country, but I'm still hanging on to the screen captures in case he gets obnoxious with the finalization of the divorce (by the way, my attorney told me that since I'm not publishing the screen captures or using them for private/commercial gain, there is no problem with keeping them as evidence if needed).

Very good advice. I'd highly recommend that you backup these screen captures and whatnot somewhere off your system, however, so in the event something might go wrong with your computer that evidence isn't lost.

Being the lazy person that I can be at times I'd probably go out and buy a brand new HDD, reinstall the OS, and transfer over important files. Then I'd get around to wiping the old drive clean when I had time without being in a rush. Doing it this way would let me take my time sifting through everything without being rushed.

Good suggestion for HDD wiping software.

Happy belated birthday and I hope things continue to get better, Joyojoy.

What??? If you're lazy with all that you would have to do with a new HDD install OS and transfer of files and such then I wonder what it would be like if you weren't lazy.

Valid point.

I can install an OS in my sleep. It's annoying, yes, but I've done it so many times that I don't consider it a big deal. It just takes far too long for me to maintain interest so I walk away and do other stuff in the meantime. So, yeah, to me that is somewhat lazy.

As far as the lazy aspect, by doing the fresh install I am definitely making sure the system is clean of anything bad and then I can slowly and at my own pace sift through the files I may want to transfer over while carefully checking everything else on the old HDD. In that respect is where it will take me a lot longer once I get beyond the obvious necessities like required software installs and relevant data including email, etc.

I still have an old IDE drive from my previous XP system that I haven't fully transferred over to my new Vista system with SATA drives. It's been about 4 months. I just haven't been in the mood.

Your solution is very simple.

Make sure he is on a limited account. Install and setup Windows SteadyState.

Problem solved, as he can't touch your settings.

Hmm, as of post 18 this issue was solved so maybe time to close the thread.

 

[Dark Atheist]

by that logic all the threads here should be closed
