view porn? But worse yet child porn!
I ask this because I often see in the news someone busted for having images on their pc of child porn and one assumes based upon the fact it is a male about 50+ that he is guilty and I'd have to say he probably is. It is disgusting, I can't understand how anyone would want to look at such stuff.
So here's my question. My sister's pc needs work so it means taking it in to a local computer shop. I know she never would look at porn much less child porn but I asked her anyway. Of course she confirms she never would do such a thing, so no surprise there. However, there is one wild card. I asked her if anyone ever had access to her pc when she was not there and there was one time she had the bathroom painted, well I'll copy and paste her comment.
I understand your need to ask, and no, I absolutely have never looked at child pornography. Who else has used the computer? You, Bobby, and Jeff, none of which I'd be worried about. The jerk who painted the bathroom (when I say "jerk," I mean the guy who used to work at the store) would be the only other possibility. Would he do that? As much of a jerk as is he is many ways, I'd be shocked if he were a jerk in that way. Can I say absolutely, positively, unequivocally no? I can't. The possibility scares the life out of me, and it's not a chance I'm willing to take. This is an area I wouldn't take any ghost of chance with. I'd like to get something from scratch rebuilt is absolutely fine but in this day and age when things could be misconstrued and being a teacher, unfortunately many people want to assume the worst, I'm not willing for someone to be scanning the hard drive. Again, I swear to you that I'm not lying and trying to cover my tracks, but I cannot even open the door of possibility that something--no matter how innocent--could be twisted against me. An accusation like that, even if proven false, never goes away.So, no I don't want the computer guy working with this computer.
So now she is terrified that maybe, possibly, what if the jerk that painted may have used the pc and what if he looked at child porn. In all likelihood he did not use her pc and did not look at child porn but she is not sure.
Is there any way to discuss this with the computer repair guy or would this just encourage him to look for child porn and if he found something is she in deep $hit? It's going to cost more to buy a pc vs fix this one but now she is fearful and does not want to repair the pc!
Thanks.
