So we sent our computer into Dell for repair and left the hard drive in while we shipped. (I know, that was stupid).

Now, being paranoid, I'd like to make sure that some tech didn't stick some malware or kiddie porn or anything on the machine while Dell had it.

Is there some utility I can run or thing that I can do to see if files have been added to the computer over the last week or so while it was away?

Thanks.

What OS are you running?

In Windows 7 you can use search to find all files modified since a certain date. I'm not sure if you can do that in XP.

ROBOCOPY is the command you are looking for.
