How to remove all traces of downloaded images. Please reply urgently.

[kurttrail]

Personal use prohibited? Get real. That's like saying an employee
cannot use the telephone to make a personal call. That said...

Unless it is an emergency, I don't think people should be using an
employer's phone for personal phone calls. You're at work to work, not
do your personal business.

And I've never had a Porn Emergency.

He may have a condition (for example, being male) that renders him
incapable of conforming his actions to those normally considered
"desirable" by the PC crowd. In that case, his employer must take
reasonable actions under the Workers With Disabilities Act to
accomodate his handicap.
Second, unless he "shows" the pictures to the overly-sensitive types,
there's no harassment. If the easily-offended seek out the pictures,
the problem belongs to them.

Third, just like sexual harassment, he's allowed one free "grope."
The law requires a "pattern" of actions; one instance is not a
pattern.
Fourth, viruses. It's almost impossible to prove the stuff wasn't
maliciously downloaded by a virus or, for that matter, another
employee.
Fifth, he can claim his actions were tacitly approved by management
for, if not, management would have installed filtering software like
they have, um, somewhere I'm sure.

Sounds like a lot of excuses. Porn should not be viewed at the
workplace, unless your job specifically allows and/or requires it.
Period.

I have no problem with porn viewing in your own home. At work, you are
being paid to do a job, not to create cum stains on your underwear.

Format the hard drive, and reinstall the OS and all applications.

What an idiotic suggestion unless it was just a hypothetical suggestion!

Hi,
I have a hypothetical question I would like to ask please.
If My best friend has downloaded some pornographic images from the net
whilst working at night and the comptuer he downloaded them to was shared
(ie, used by people during the day), and if hypothetically my best freind
wanted to remove every single possible trace of this pornographic material
(nothing illegal) just pornographic matieral (hypothetically speaking), then
how would my best freind go about it.

Me and my best freind are having a discussion about this, say for example we
worked in an office that consisted mainly of women who had a policy against
it, and we could loose our jobs for example if we were caught. (Hypothetical
situation).

So is their a way to totally remove all traces of this downloaded files.
(image files only).

Hypothetically speaking, would your friend's employer have any reason
to search your friend's computer for such image files?

PS> Assume int his hypothetical situation (We like analysing hypothetical
situations and looking at all the variables, usual lads pub chat), that we
discovered the next day that the company uses some kind of "checking
software" at regualr intervals to check through files and things, so we had
to erase all things, is this definitely possible? If so what exactly would
we need to do. So there would absolutely be nothing whatsoever on that
disc..ever, and it would be left as though nothign was ever downloaded in
the first place.

Hello, I agree with "Tech Han Hui". in terms of cleaning the work unit.
Other users of the unit may inadvertently see this information. Since you
posed "active search at intervals", unless there is a person in the
department that is doing the checking and that is willing to remove or ignore
such items as a favor then in all probabilty they will be found. This is not
100%. A lot comes into the equation, how active the company policy is
followed, how good the software and the people assigned. Then there is the
person that disregarded company policy, how knowledgeable and serious are
they in defeating the policy.
Take Care.

Best bet is to not use the office pcs for porno.

How is it that a hypothetical question needs an urgent reply? Maybe not
so hypothetical?

No maybe about it, I'd bet. 4 times using a form of the word
"hypothetical" in one post is protesting way too much.
