On a recent business trip with two colleges, I had my corporate lap top plugged into high speed connection in my hotel room.I was not on my company web site. My colleges, and were reviewing business plans for the next day, but I had to leave the room for some time. Upon my return, I was horrified to see my colleges surfing an X rated porn site on my laptop. I am afriad that the next time I plug into the company Lan, that there may be corporate web monitoring software on the laptop that will upload a log to a server and cause lots of issues. Is there a way I can check to see if there are logs on the laptop that have recorded web surfing that I can erase or delete?
Any help or suggestions with this issue would be appreciated.

Put the burden on the surfers. Tell your colleagues that when you get back to corporate, you are going to turn the laptop over to the IT people for cleaning, along with an explanation of why you need it cleaned. That should get them hopping.

download spider 1.16 and have it scan the whole drive ,then clean it. and then uninstall
spider. it cleans the index.dat files.
and use a program like x-cleaner or windows washer after rebooting from spider.

and here's a similar program 5 day trial.
Complete Internet Cleanup Lite 2.5
spider 1.16 is free, and does about as much.
but this does a little more.
