I may be getting fired...

So, today I had Bill covering my lunch break. When I came back, I sat in the extra chair at my desk and just chatted with him for a while. We started talking about Halloween and he asked if I was dressing up, or going to any parties. On his phone he started showing me pics of his costume - Mario, as in Super Mario, and I decided that I was going to show him my costume on the back up computer that we have at reception. Now, I'm not going as anything skanky, in fact it's a funny costume. I can't tell you what it is, because it's a surprise and it's going to be a kick ass costume . So I type it in and put the word adult in front of it because I didn't want a kid size costume.

Yup, you know where this is going...

So the first link shows up, says the name of the costume so naturally I click on it. All of a sudden a thousand pop ups come up, and as I start clicking the "x" I start to realize something bad is happening. I cancel out of all the pop ups and the web page loads...

Covering the web page is...

NAKED woman, and millions of them!! LOL

Bill and I freak, well, I scream and can't close the web page fast enough. Bill sat their laughing. As soon as I got everything closed, Bill and I just start laughing out of control. I was between just absolutely mortified and finding it just so funny! I then start freaking out that that this happened on a work computer and how IT could track my history. Bill starts to reassure me that IT wouldn't just check the history, they only would if they had a reason to. Plus, the website didn't look like a porn site name, otherwise I never never would have clicked on it! Phew. I think I'm in the clear.

A couple minutes later, after Bill leaves my desk, he calls me and is just laughing. I look over at the computer and a virus warning has popped up. Great. Just great. So naturally I click to "X" out of it and get back to work. And then, as my luck has it, Jim appears and needs use the back up computer to print a security badge. Why we have this hooked up to this computer and not in his office is besides me. So anyways, he sits down and the virus ad pops up. He says he'll call IT and have them out to fix it and that's when I literally start to sweat bullets.

IT seems to appear within minutes (of course, they never respond fast except for now!!). So Matt comes out, and as I'm literally trying to think of excuses as to why there could be porn on my computer, he explains to me that this is nothing bad. It's a form of spy-ware, that says you have a virus, when you really don't. It does that in hopes that you'll click it and then infect your computer. Hmm... wonder where THAT came from ;)

He ran the virus protection, told me what to do when the scan stopped and went on his way. Turns out, 11 items were infected, and I cleaned it up and it seems ok.

Lesson learned, won't be searching anything with the word "adult" in front of it!!

Oh, and now Bill thinks I'm being a porn star for Halloween and has invited to me a party, lol!
