As an IT tech myself, I tend to know how not to get caught :-)
But I have however found items on other peoples machines I have had in for repair... Its amazing the number of people who don't clear out thier computers when they sell them on, and manys a free avi file or porn stash I have... er.. "borrowed"
There was one Person I know asked me to check thier daughters laptop, and I did find some interesting stuff, and (as they wanted to know) showed them. They were pleased that it was just "normal" search related mild porn, and none of that "wierd stuff" that they thought she was looking at.. What they did not see was the home made video cam of her, in a very compromising position that she had sent to her boyfriend, lucky for me she is 18.. I hope...

anyway, for those of you who wish to remove this evil spy that dropped you in it:

Internet explorer:
1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Internet Options" and the "Content" tab.
3. Within the "Personal information" area, select "AutoComplete."
4. Click on "Clear Forms." You can also un-check the "Forms" box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.
5. Click "OK" to exit.

Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search, then pressing the Delete key once.

If you are on Firefox, go to:
tools
options
privacy
click the saved forms tab, and untick the "save information I enter" box to turn that off.


Thats £250 please.

(and no, I don't have the 18 year olds home video anymore) ;-)
