Quickly locate unwanted media files

Policing the network for unauthorized downloads can be difficult. One solution is to block certain

file types at the firewall or SMTP gateway.



Another approach is to regularly scan servers and workstations for mpg, mpeg, jpg, and jpeg files,

among others. ThumbsPlus from Cerious Software, although not designed specifically as a

compliance monitoring tool, can help you scan the system to locate and view graphics files.



When you're scanning your Windows 2000 computers for unwanted media files, don't be too

aggressive. If the images reside under the \Program Files folder, they're likely required by an

application. Likewise, files in the Windows folder and its subfolders are generally used by Windows

and shouldn't be deleted.
