The way we solved the laptop security issue was very very simple.When we received the laptop we pulled the hard drive out (we wanted to upgrade to a larger disk), and shelved the old drive. When we sent it in for repairs, we pulled our drive, and send it in with the small one.
Simple.
I'm probably most concerned about the online banking and any account infor for Amazon etc. I know that short of physicaly destroying the HD nothing is truely safe, but I just want some peace-of-mind that I've done the minimum and haven't missed anything else obvious that anyone else could suggest.
