Someone was in my office and using my personal computer? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

I went to other building for an hour. I think someone was looking at my personal computer because my Y/A and my myspace webpage were disppeared from the main pages.





Please advice. Thank you.Someone was in my office and using my personal computer? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Even if you do own the computer, if it's tied into the company's network the IT department can and will check to make sure that your terminal is not connected to anything that might hurt the company's system!





It's your computer, but if it's tied to their network they still have some rights as to what you do with it.





I'm guessing that those sites were deleted from your main pages as a matter of company policy by people in the IT group.Someone was in my office and using my personal computer? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
It doesn't matter if the PC is your property or the company's. Are you on the computer when you're supposed to be working? Lots of companies are cracking down on that now. Why hire someone to play on the computer? You're there to work. In your defense, it is creepy that someone might be spying on you. Never post anything that you're ashamed of or that's not true. Be mature. Maybe you should leave your PC @ home. You'll get more work done that way. You do not want to lose your job. Many people are out of work %26amp; would love to be in your shoes...
Get a keylogger to find out what is done when you are away. You might be able to get their password to their Yahoo Email account. Then you can change their profile to indicate they are a sneaky person.
hmmm.. interesting! Who coULd that be? MAny possible answers on that.. 1. someone wants to know what your doing , while your away. is it maybe your suitor? IS there? or your boss? wants to sneak peak maybe 2. You should not leave your personal computer unattended. even if you have your own room as if you want people hacked your computer information or files 3. if its private really, you should be mad. Knowing that you are not there. and somebody comes in, that is not good.. you have the right to get angry, take disciplinary actions.
I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing for someone to do. Leaving your email and myspace open on a works computer is most likely against your company policy - you are there to work.





More importantly, leaving these applications open and logged in mans that someone could have changed your passwords and gained full access to both accounts.





It doesn't seem that the person who was on the computer did this, so I'd assume they have done you a favour. You could be sacked if your boss found you playing about on these sites.





It is not your computer. It belongs to the company you work for.
Telling us where you are geographically would be a start.


In the U.S. if you were at work then you need to learn to lock up when you leave both your office and your computer. Unless you happen to own the business then you do not have an expectation of privacy in your work area, but closing and locking your door would help.


Even if you were the business owner or top level manager there are still some people I am sure who have access to your office, is it s crime for them to use your computer? It is being nosey but it is not a crime. Best thing you can do in the future is to secure your belongings.





The fact you personally own the computer is not relevent as you decided to bring it to work with you.
When you work in an office forget about trust. Someone will stab you in the back faster then on the street.
Depending on what company you work for and what their rules are, even though it was you personal computer, your manager may have the right to look at it since you brought in into company property. And if someone did look at nd saw myspace and Y/A on your computer while you are getting paid to work you will be written up/fired--next time don't goof off at work and try to get away with it by bringing your own computer. It is not a violation of property privacy, you choose to bring it on company property and the company has a right to see what you are doing why they are paying you. If you were my worker I would fire you if I saw myspace on your computer
