or maybe he just doesn't care what you think about his browsing habits and just wants his porn on the go?
So what have you found while fixing peoples computers?

The thing is BigStan that sometimes its staring you in the face.
All the stuff was linked from the Desktop because I had setup Firefox with Downthemall to put everything there (for ease of use).
Obviously his son hadn't noticed an increasing number if icons on the Desktop.
I must admit (for my mates sake) I now wish I'd investigated further because what else might his son have downloaded?

I have said that anything stumbled upon whilst doing what you were supposed to be doing which looks as if it genuinely warrants investigation is fair game and it then becomes your responsibility to do something about it.
It's this sort of thing I object to:
There was no legitimate reason for this guy to be looking at these girls private videos and he obviously deliberately went searching for them because of the content he'd seen on the desktop.
(I am, of course, assuming the story is true and not the fabricated fantasy of some saddo).

If you want browsing secrecy, running a sandboxed browser from an encrypted partition is a better solution. That way, there is no risk of spyware or viruses, and nothing ever gets written to the hdd unencrypted.
The worst I've found on someones pc has been bestiality, never found anything illegal.

I think you'll probably find that IS illegal.
Hehe ... on the plumbing note, you also just happen to find things. On plumbing jobs which involve the removal of the hot water cylinder (say, swapping over to a combi system), I've lost count of the number of times I have found porn mags hidden behind the hot water cylinder.
I always tried to hide them until I could discreetly hand them over to "the man of the house" without their missus finding out
I don't find them as often these days since internet access got more popular
as long as it's the animal doing the woman, it's probably not that bad, man dong animal is more like rape though so....

Why? It may be the Wife's stash of porn.
but people are often tasked with finding the problem, or backing up files which obscure information,
so with the first they have to go through the dodgy stuff as that's probably the problem,
with the second its like, showing someone a messy room and saying i think the papers i want saved are in that corner. Then getting arsey about them riffling through stuff in that corner while looking for the specific item.
I checked up on the uk legislation and possession does not appear to be illegal.
I don't think I like where this is going...
LOL, yea but it always seemed to be male oriented porn ( could have been lezzers though).
Handed some mags to a guy once, but they turned out to be his son's ( Well that's what he said anyway
)

As I've said twice already (and I'm bored saying it now), if you have a legitimate reason to be in a particular directory and you discover something which may be illegal, you have the right (and obligation) to do something about it. Searching someone's personal folders for private videos after seeing some tantalising desktop wallpapers is not a legitimate reason to be in there - especially when all you did was replace a dodgy IDE cable.
Haven't found anything dodgy actually on the computer hard drive itself but when fixing a friend of my exes computer i found a dead mouse plus its nest inside. The computer was basically binned immediately after i rescued the hard drive which thankfully was still pretty clean of any droppings.
Hand?
