Hi. My school just started issuing devices last year, and they have this Lightspeed spyware on them. Last year I was able to remove it by booting into Linux from a flash drive and moving the files to a separate drive and then back at the end of the year. This year I have heard from sources that they have ways of detecting someone booting from Linux so I am hesitant to do that option. My only other idea is to buy an old laptop off eBay that looks like it and install Linux on it. I could probably get one for about 50€. Does anyone have any cheaper ideas?

Oh also talking to IT isn’t an option.

      Then go the AdNauseum route. Give them such vast sums of information to sift through that it’s nearly useless to pick through any specific piece. Hotstrings would make the task much more painless, and save you dozens of hours per year once you get used to using them in other capacities.
