Re: May my computer be searched for illegal software
If it is a dormroom, you may have consented to search via admission contract or other college generated document. I would need to review prior to advising.
Obviously if you have illegal software and you have a basis for asserting privacy, you must do so, but you may generate additional scrutiny.
Call or e-mail for further assistance.
