When you are done using it, use System Restore to restore your machine to the state it was prior to the software installation. This won't protect you from really bad malware, but should protect you from intrusive but otherwise legitimate software. Obviously this is inconvenient to do every time ProctorU is needed to take a test. But if you can afford only one computer and use ProctorU infrequently, it is a proactive approach.
Thanks for the feedback clep3705. You are correct that that would be a major inconvenience and somewhat impractical. I am thinking of just using an old XP box that I have for Proctored exams if I choose to go that route. I will definitely alter my logins just for testing days as well for added security if I choose this option.
