Hope this is the section to ask this question.

I have a 4 month old laptop that I used for the current limited account and its a matter of time before it takes out the ebay account too.
I have a 5 (2003) year old account that I could use to start selling again on without any problems because I purposely set it up with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info to begin with. ( Yes I did this in 2003 and didnt know how valuable it would become ! ).

My question is this, without changing the hard drive how to I clean the laptop from all ebay and PP info? I already dumped all the pictures and the user account name and folders as well as cookies etc. But how can I be sure the info is gone and what else do I need to do to 100% full proof the laptop?

I would very much appreciate any help offered. Thank you

ccleaner is good and free, I run it everytime before logging in. It cleans up all those tracks you leave behind.

As long as that 5 year old account was never associated with an ebay account you can use it.

Hi..I have a couple questions about IP address, I'm now using My laptop hooked up directly with Cable Modem, it works just like DeskTop Computer, and I have 10 Ebays accounts right now, with 3 new paypal accounts. I'm doing fine so far because i use CCcleaner and Proxy with Ghost Suft to hide my IP and tracking, I can even Bid on my items from another account and never got Shilling Bidding so, so far so good, But

My Question is, My New house has Wireless so I have to use wireless (which hookep up with Cable modem and router i guess) like other people in the house, so I'm afraid that It is not safe for me to do the same thing with multiple Ebay accounts. Since I 've known that using router is not safe, Because I'm now using Modem hooked up directly with my laptop, It is just like Destop, and i have no problem at all, even sometimes i log in my suspend acc.

Could you tell me if it is ok, or not if i use wireless sharing with other people in the house, and router with the same Ghost Surf as i'm doing so far, Or just get the New Cable modem and do the same thing as i'm doing right now. If it's not safe, i'll have to pay more for my private Internet, if it is ok, i just use wireless signal with my ghost suft.

Please make sure what i should do. Thank you so very much for your time.
