Venezuela disputes Exxon's claims ... are proof that Venezuela financed Farc rebels.
The hard-drives were purportedly seized after a raid on a rebel camp in Ecuador at the beginning of March.
But Interpol head Ronald Noble said the report did not seek to verify the validity of charges against Venezuela.
Venezuela and Ecuador have both dismissed the accusations as a US-backed smear campaign.
They say that any contacts with the Revolutionary Armed Forced of Colombia (Farc) were solely made as part of a humanitarian effort to free hostages held by the left-wing guerrillas.
Colombian forces attacked the Farc camp located just across the border in Ecuador on 1 March.
The computers they seized contain files which, according to Bogota, show that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was personally involved in financing and supplying arms to the rebels.
The raid provoked the worst regional tensions in recent years, with Ecuador breaking off diplomatic relations with Colombia.
