Sounds like a tard. Anyway, I am glad you contacted the cops for his kiddy porn. That is the vilest crime there is outside of actual child molesting which that kind of porn only encourages.

I despise child molestors but why were you looking through this guys stuff?
When I repair peoples systems I do what ever it takes to get it fixed and that's it. I respect a customer's privacy even if they are dirtbags.
It wasn't exaclty hidden...in fact, it wasn't hidden at all.

Continuing on that thought; I actually sought out the Anarchists' Cookbook.
I think I have to write a letter to Homeland Security about you.

Realisticallt, I bet the cops cant do anything. You or they had n right to view his private data so I bet a lawyer would chew this up easily if it ever went to court... It's like when a cop finds evidence during an illegal search (no warrant) then even if the evidence is a video of the guy committing a murder it is not admissable in court.
edit: furthemore this guy is probably going to want to kill you now and probably knows where to find you...

Actually, a private citizen working on a computer that finds stuff in plain sight is perfectly legal evidence. Nothing at all like the cops.

It wasn't really. That scan was done on another machine with an ext. drive enclosure.

That was just my assumption when you said offbeat.
I despise fascism, but I don't see a problem with books. I'm kinda curious about the book, perhaps I'll read it someday.

I have both of those on my system right now along with an al qaeda training manual and a bunch of other military and para-military manuals. Although the Mein Kampf is there for my Nazi Germany class, the others are purely recreational reading.
Remind me not to hire you for anything.

::sigh::
It's much easier to just pop the HD into an enclosure on another system than it is to boot into Safe Mode and have to deal with Spyware that loads with SafeMode and reloads itself when closed in Safe Mode, and has all sorts of mechanisms to stay on the computer. 5 minutes to pop it out, a much faster scan, and 5 minutes to pop it back in.
I'm assuming you've never had to deal with especially vicious Spyware.

The client has no privacy. If they're paying me to sift through their HD and clean all the crap off of the HD, they better not have anything on their that would jeopardize my operations or me operating within the confines of the law.
The ethical question would be whether or not to report the child porn, because in order to know it was child porn, you'd have to have looked at it. In the eyes' of the law, that makes you just as guilty as the perp. Which is why you're supposed to call the authorities if you assume there is child porn on the computer.
