If I may, I'd just like to answer some of the questions that you asked Blackhorse 70V, such as:When windows deletes a file the file is not actually deleted, what happens is that the file's name is changed, e.g. MyFile to ?yFile (but the ? is upside down). This tells windows that the space, that the file occupies, is ready to be reused.

At this stage, before the space is reused by another file, a recovery application can find the "deleted" file and recover it.

You also asked:Imagine those old school exercise books (or note pads) with lines on every page, well formatting is like redrawing lines on a page without deleting the data underneath but telling windows that the space is free for use.

Again, there are recovery apps that can read under those newly drawn line and recovery the data underneath.

Hope this helps.

PS. As Blackhorse 70V said, you should never use LW on a work computer.

PPS. You cannot turn off the logs an ISP gathers about your Internet usage.
