    First off, Thanks in advance

    Second I recently got a new laptop, it got sent to my school and the school admin had it for a week claiming he didnt know it was for me, but anyway i went to see him, he said he needed to put office on it for me.

    I am perfectly capable of installing office myself.

    My School runs a RM Network (all the people with laptops can run rings round it!)We also have Securus on the network.

    So thats the background sorted, now for the Problem bit

    whilst running a registry search for w32.serflog and generally cleaning it up, i found these keys

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\RESEARCH MACHINES\PMSMONITORS
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\RESEARCH MACHINES\PMSMONITORS\usermonitor
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\RESEARCH MACHINES\PMSMONITORS\processmonitor
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\RESEARCH MACHINES\PMSMONITORS\stationactivitymonitor

    To anyone: Do you know what these are?
    Can i delete them without being banned from the network?

    I just dont like the idea, (seen as i use the laptop at home) of my activities being monitored, or will it only monitor them when I am connected to the network?

    Sorry for the long post, but i need to try and figure out if I can confront the school admin for invasion of privacy or something!

    I dont mind if it can only monitor me when i am in school

    Lastly, What is EISA Configuration a partition exists on my hdd called PQSERVICE (EISA CONFIGURATION)

    Thanks again

    Sorry if I bored you!

    Does the school own the computer?
