A Company Laptop
I work for an IT department for a certain council in the UK. One day, a councillor brought his laptop into us as he was having trouble with it. Somebody happened to have on them a utility which scans the file which records all of the internet history, Google searches, etc so we decided to try it out on his.

We discovered to our amusement that he had a fetish for being dominated by women whilst they dressed him up in sexy lingerie. His searches reflected that he wanted to find prostitutes in the locale that would accomodate his kinks along with strap-on play and various other harmless but eye opening antics.

We showed it to the manager as a laugh but he decided that it wasn't funny and that the councillor was abusing a resource from the tax payer. He then reported it to the top brass and a week later, the poor bloke resigned.

We felt a bit shit about it afterwards.

At what part
Of the troubleshooting proceedure did you feel you needed to know which websites he'd been on?
Were you going to go through each and every one of them and check for adware/spyware?

Re: At what part
It's policy to check for inappropriate use of company laptops. He also had a few thumbnails of naked ladies but we felt bad because he wasn't exactly committing the crime of the century. It was in the news recently that some workers at another council got sacked for passing round an email of Charlotte Church with her norks out. They really are that strict.

Are you his lawyer or something?
