And notice a shit load of porn trackers/cookies and an A-Z list of porn sites the history of internet explorer.  The wife asks how they got all the spyware.  Do you MYOB and give a generic "some sites have popups/adware and what not" answer...or do you spill the beans on the dude.

I chose to play mum's the word and installed some spyware removal tools and instructed the user.

If I could figure out how to do a poll...

Pull him aside as say "We have a problem.  I've discovered a countless amount of porn on your computer"  "Now we can 'fix' the problem for a nominal fee or I can tell your wife"  "What's it gonna be?"

Oh, and find the "invisible" folder full of porn and make a "backup" of it before giving the computer back :D

Well, if you want to get rid of the spyware, then I use a three stage approach of malwarebytes, adaware, and spybot.  If you're looking to cover your tracks, a product like webroot's window washer would do the trick.

You are being paid to do a job....not render a judgement about peoples morals or characters.  If you wanted to try and tell people
what they should or shouldn't do with their computer or rat people out for engaging in legal actions that you may or may not agree with                      you should have joined the Democrats and run for office....thats their style.

For all you know it was the wife that was surfing the porn....not the husband.

MYOB.

nothing stopping them from claiming YOU put it there, from that point it goes to employer complaint/lawsuit and downhill from that point.

Mind your own damn business. I had someone fuck up a work laptop with viruses and spyware, and a bunch of porn showed up in his IE history. I told him to stop surfing porn on his work laptop, as opposed to referring him to HR. Of course he had no knowledge of how those sites got visited.

Depends entirely on who hired you and is paying you.  If the wife hired you, then you tell her.  If the husband hired you, then you keep quiet.

Big +1 to the above.

A reputation for discretion has landed me repeat business from customers, and
referrals to others from the same. Gaining a reputation for the opposite can sink
you just as easily. Just a thought.....

The idea of mentioning it to the dude, and telling him that if he continues surfing
those sites, that you'll be doing work in the future for him again might not be a bad
idea.
