[QUOTE]Originally posted by akb1979: [QB] Hi all! A friend of mine has just been suspended from work for apparently downloading porn on his work's network. :eek: This accusation is completely false (so he tells me and I do believe him) as he know's the company's rules & regs and that the computer network is monitored and that there is software on the system to prevent such access, so wouldn't do anything so stupid - he doesn't even access porn when he's at home. What he needs now is: a) technical help regarding the Internet - what could cause the pop-ups and links to porn sites appear without his asking for them (which he said he suffered from regularly while using Net search engines). He said the pop-ups only came up when he was surfing the Net at lunch (for private, non-porn related things like shopping & on-line banking) or doing a search for job-related information. Also, what could bypass the company's system and download files to the hard drive (apparently files have been downloaded that are attached to his account but he's not aware of any, other than the work-related ones). Don't the porn companies create some sort of link to popular/mis-spelt words in search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves? :confused: Is there any proof of this? Net articles, legal cases? :confused: b) legal advice on how to handle the disapliniary case he's got to attend some time next week (he told me but I can't remember the date). What should he expect to encounter, how should he prepare? :confused: c) any links to legal cases of similar/identical such things that have happened before - what the charges were (his is gross misconduct for the accessing of porn), what evidence was submitted by the company and individual being charged, what the outcome was, etc. etc. Is there a precedence out there that he can quote in his hearing to defend himself with? Any evidence to support his innocence? :confused: Please help people as this poor guy is shitting himself. He's been a loyal employee for the company for over two years and has never had a problem like this before! He's always arrived on time, stayed late when asked or needed, taken only a handful of sick days . . . he's pretty much a model employee. He can't believe that this is happening, and frankly, neither can his family or colleges - several have been round to offer support and such. Thanks in advance everyone! -AK [/QB][/QUOTE]
