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... |
|
I'd just say "some sites" instead of "a crap load of porn" when discussing it.
|
|
good choice. That's one of those situations where you cover for a dude, and tell him he's an idiot in private :P
|
|
She'll find out eventually. If you talk your reputation for discretion will vanish.
|
|
I would not mention the porn. If they guy paying me shorted me I would tell.

Keep your mouth shut and make a list for later........Duh! I had to laugh at some of the URL's....I guess when there's already a bazillion porn sites you have to get creative. |

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?"
Seriously, leave the poor fucker alone. |

How do you know it was not hers???
You would be shocked to see my history and I am all women. |

Speaking from experience, I can definitely say STFU and let someone else figure it out.
Oh, and find the "invisible" folder full of porn and make a "backup" of it before giving the computer back :D Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I always say "stop looking at porn sites and you won't have these problems." "I, I, I... uh... I don't look at those kind of sites..." "right"

I work on computers on my own. I've found so much crap it's unbelievable.
What a man does in the privacy of his home is of no concern to me. |
|
how do you get rid of all that pron tracking stuff ?
Not for me but a friend .really. |
|
Quoted:
I'd jokingly say he had a bunch of bestiality and alien porn. Alien Porn ? |

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. |

Was she hot? Exaclt, if she was ugly don't say anything. Let the poor man have his respite. |

Isn't there some kind of man law that covers this? I think you know what to do, brother.

I hope the fact that you even asked was just to have some fun with GD Duh. |

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. save yourself the headache, fix the computer and move on with life. |

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.

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. |
