[roncarter]

it takes balls to surf porn at work, but it takes an extra set to do it on someone else's machine

no.. i was logged on, and away from desk

Yes you can think. That generally helps. In that thinking you will probably realize that reporting him to HR will absolve yourself of any reprocussions and probably get him fired.

i dont know how you would prove it then. I suggest locking your PC if you have NT/2000 or putting on a 2 min screen saver PW if you run 98.

Cover your ass.


Did he log on with your passwrd?

if so get it changed and tell the IT department what happened


Tell your boss.


THEN tell that person, as they could fudge up your story if you ONLY tell them.


ALL OF THIS IS ASSUMING YOUR COWORKER IS AN AS*HOLE

If he is a friend, tell him not to do it again, and find out a way to cover your ass just in cae

how can they find out that a few naked pics were looked at.... I asked him.. he said only 3 pics... pics only

Well that wasn't so bad...I guess.

Just make sure it doesn't happen again...



"windows Key" + "L"


That command will lock your pc immediately

"THEY" cand find out whatever "THEY" want

Packet sniffers can see EVERYTHING you do, plus the IT departmenthas Admin access on EVERT machine...even remotely

 

[roncarter]

if i get in trouble..ima be pissed..

 

[iamwiz82]

it will probably still be in your temp. internet folder too.

 

[Hammer]

does you coworker like you?

 

[MrCodeDude]

Go find "Evidence Eliminator" Clears Cookies, Internet Temps, Recent Folder, everything everytime you log off, shut down, etc
-- mrcodedude

 

[edmicman]

just clear your internet history and cache, etc. unless your company has some sort of firewall that logs "inappropriate" sites or something, you should be good. i doubt that even if they were using these "packet sniffers", that they would be actively using them searching the company's logs for inappropriate usage. takes too much time and resources to make it worth it.

 

[StageLeft]

Sorry

WARNING: "Evidence Eliminator" does not help you when the sysadmin is logging browser activity.

Don't proxy servers log that stuff? I'm sure you'll be fine though.

 

[dakata24]

co-worker have a hidden agenda out to get you? cuz can't he look at pr0n in his own computer in his cubicle?

 

[dirtboy]

hahaha...not to make fun, but I guess if you're going to surf porn at work and you're afraid of getting fired, doing it on someone else's computer is an excellent idea!! hehe oohhh my...

If he was just "messin around", why wasn't he doing it on HIS computer? You think it was because he knew that would have been a bad idea?

What do you mean he didn't realize what he was doing? Was he on like, cnn.com or something, and they messed up a link that ended up showing some porn pics?

Content filter and logging. If he/she went there (which they obvioiusly did) your already screwed. Let's hope your network admin isn't doing this or he doesn't check his logs; if he did, you wouldn't have the chance to post here. (Deny all to your IP address, then come in and slap you with a pink slip)

The other posts explaining how to delete your internet history etc.. that will only get rid of the evidence on your pc. The firewall already has you logged and again, if your admin is watching the network, he/she already knows how much time your PC was on these sites.

1min > less = possible mistake you (your buddy) didn't know what they where doing
5min > more = obviously your there for a reason and still surfing for pics.

Just like Kranky said and I'll just reenforce it. If your admin is watching, your screwed dude. If it was on my network, you would of been tracked and asked why you walked away from your workstation without locking the console or logging off. (Policy and Procedures)

Tell your friend or whomever it was to quit it, because that's how friends get you fired or into serious trouble!

Just my .02,
