Is GeekSquad required to show the customers the list of malware or something? If I were you, I'd rather keeo it to myself and not ruin the family.

This thread highlights the reasons why I do everything possible to *avoid* finding anything on someone else's computer that I'm fixing. What other people look at is something I have zero interest in knowing.

Well in his defence, many people on the P2P networks label porn as movies delibrately.. He COULD have been trying to download savin private ryan ;)

Did you attempt to conform to his tastes or were you disgusted?

one can assume that since you didn't use a prefix of "ex-"... conform?

This one guy who sat in front of me in my law school classes last year used to pop a porno DVD in the laptop and watch a scene or two during class. I was in teh last row, in the corner, so only like two of us one the last row could actually see him doing that. We'd kick his chair til he stopped. He's really into porn, that one.

When any of us on the last row got called on in class if we had done our reading and we're on top of the case, the guys in front of us would start playing beastiality stuff or other porn-ish videos/pics to try and distract you. It was lame.

I see a lot of odd things in people?s house as a Home Appraiser. The usual posters of bikini chicks in teenage boys bedrooms and topless girls on auto parts calendars hanging in garages. The weirdest was in a school superintendent?s house. I bumped the computer desk in the den and woke the PC out of stand by. The desktop background had a blonde gal with huge fake boobs digitally enhanced to be humongous! LOL

Someone brought me an old hard drive once for me to Format & install Windows on it. He had been given the hard drive and didn't know who the original owner was.
Before the Format, I decided I would look through the Temp. Internet files. Full of Gay pr0n!
Told him about that one, he then tried to find out who's computer it came from.

Other than that, I make it a point to never snoop around on anyones computer I may be working on.

Found nude pics of the woman who brought a comp in. Another customer was a guy, about 17-19 old, on his comp I've found a lot of porn pics but that really wasn't the funny part, but the name of the folder where he stored the pics: "JERKOFF". It's very practical, you can't miss it.

Who exactly did you show it to, and why was it decided it was necessary?

I worked at a computer shop for a few years. I found lots of porn, and never felt the need to talk to the customers about it.

never seen it yet but i suppose eventually i will. i don't go hunting for other ppl's porn if they bring it in. if they want a backup, i just tell them to put everything in one big folder. then backup the folder. but i suppose everyone has some. some ppl know how to hide it and most don't.

I was thinking the same thing.


and I've seen it one student's computers. This one girl had some videos in her recent document list. She was very attractive.. hell, so were her suitemates. me = idiot and didn't take advantage of it.
