Buy a external hard drive, put all 500 Gb of child porn you have on it and take it with you/stash it.

Just have them go as far as setting up the wireless router and stay off the computer.

It's easy to connect your computer from there.

Whether it's a cable or DSL modem installation, they'll just be doing the wiring, hooking up the modem and that's it. Rarely do they ever do anything with home networking - fuck that. It's your responsibility to setup your cheap wireless router. The furthest they'll go in terms of testing your connectivity is making sure your web browser connects to the default home page and that's that.

You have nothing to worry about. They'll sooner steal a small valuable possession than snoop around on your computer. Installers are usually unit based and make commissions for all the different products they install. It's better for them to just get things going nice and quickly and move onto the next customer.

that linksys router allows to setup a guest network. Not what you what to do.
1.) what you going to have to do is stick all "private material" in an external harddrive or a true crypt partition. 
then, if on a pc, eraser them with eraser. On a mac, del them. then used "eraser free space" in disk utility.
2.) export and then del your private bookmarks, so you can import them back later.
3.) del all browsers passwords, history, etc.
4.) if you on  windows, you can run ccleaner

lol I just posted it cause I knew it was the exact same word he used like a Valet for my computer which I thought was a really funny idea, valet keys for the computer guy LOL.

I doubt the technicians give a shit what you have on your computer, remember they do this all day 5 days a week, I am sure they are more interested in getting home than snooping your personal files.

techies love stealing porn tho. ;D Just don't have any home vids and you should be fine. In my experience at&t DSL tech. doesn't touch your computer to setup the network. But RoadRunner does, but youre watching them the whole time.

I wasn't worried about the technician I was more worried about who was @ home and what they would do after with my computer left unlocked.
