gzilla45 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 That doesn't sound like a fun clean up job. It sounds like that laptop needs to come out of inventory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 First, you need a corporate IT Policy that states exactly what employees can and can't do with business systems (I'll be glad to send you one that's already been through the legal vetting process). Second, you need to enforce that policy with appropriate discipline if someone violates it. And third, set permissions on the systems that allow employees to do their work, but restricts them from installing ANY programs or updates. My favorite programs for cleaning up cooties: Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware AdAware Spybot SD SuperAntiSpyware All can be downloaded free at download.com. Good luck...
