Computer Forensics

Computer forensics focuses on laptops, desktops, workstations, removable media, operating-system artifacts, files, logs, browser activity, and user timelines.

It is commonly needed for workplace disputes, deleted files, USB activity, intellectual property concerns, malware questions, and litigation support.

Do not reinstall the operating system, run cleanup tools, or keep using the computer if it may contain evidence.
