The police confirmed they were similarly carrying out these routine checks at all places where Goodman, now a Star freelance journalist, has worked since he left the News of the World.
Officers formally requested any-and-all computer material that Goodman had been involved with during his occasional shifts as a freelance reporter at the paper over the last year to cross-check it with his activities in his News of the World role.
Part of this includes Goodman's email contacts to cross-reference them with those from his time at the News of the World.
According to a statement by the Daily Star: "There was no suggestion whatsoever that Mr Goodman had acted improperly during his occasional shifts at the Daily Star Sunday, and we can confirm that no payments of any kind were ever made by the newspaper to Clive Goodman contacts.
"After requesting the Daily Star Sunday's help, Police were invited to visit the newspaper's offices where they were provided with a copy of all Mr Goodman's computer activity.
"The three officers were similarly invited to examine any desk where Mr Goodman may have sat during shifts. They left after approximately two hours with a disc of Mr Goodman's computer activity.
"For the record, the Daily Star Sunday has never carried, and has never been accused of carrying, any story that might have stemmed from phone-hacking."
