Hi Marlene,
What I do is set up a user account that does not allow the user to install any software on their
machine Only an administrator is able to do this. This is a good practice with XP it helps prevent
malicious programs from running or installing as well. My opinion never allow an Internet connected
computer with root or admin privileges. You can prevent the use of Internet Explorer for users.
Finding a program that is running on a users system can be difficult, especially if it is running in stealth mode. As mentioned by others the user could be deleting the history manually. I monitor employee access using:
http://www.softactivity.com/employee-monitoring.asp There are other programs available to do this.
So back up the necessary data reformat and reinstall all the programs on all the computers and set up user accounts so they can't install any other software. Investigate purchase and install employee monitoring software.

Hi Gang,
I suspect one of our employees has installed a program to hide their history on one of our company PC's. Other than the obvious..no history, nothing to speak of in the index.dat file..is there a way to tell if a program has been installed, or if they are doing this manually? Running XP.
Thanks, Marlene
