Being Sued by Atari/Davenport !

Having read this from start to finish, it seems that the plan of action should be simple;

- Explain that your wireless connection is not secured, and that you do not monitor it. It must have been someone else using it at that time.

- Replace the HDD in the pc in question with a replacement item of a sensible age. And install everything from scratch from there. This will then not look as though you have replaced the HDD, and the data they are after will obviously not be present.

You cant lose?

File creation times are stored, so you would need to change the system clock and play about with windows, would also need to buy the second hand HDD from somewhere other than ebay.
If you had a prebuild PC, the manufacturer may know the S/N of the original HDD?
A lot of work to cover tracks methinks.
 
It would not be unreasonable to have formatted since the incident, i dont see how having a fresh format would dent your case, a lot of people do this once every couple of months anyway. If the company wanted to probe further than the file system using specialist tools then they would be free to do so, and would simply find irrelevant junk.
 
Or the computer just gets stolen, or dropped or otherwise broken. Or you have two computers in your house and you give them the wrong one by accident. As I said, its easy to destroy evidence, but please don't do it.

formatting wont get rid of anything really...you would need erasing tools that were made to securely delete sensitive data.

but rather than that....just give them a different pc from the household and say there are no others in the house(if u decide to take that route).

dont give them the one that it was downloaded too even if u have securely deleted the data....they may have installed software and/or be able to track the pc by the hardware inside.

different pc or no pc at all
