A nice older lady I work with brought in her PC so I could clean out the spyware and viruses. I discovered it had viruses as she uses it for work and sent herself a few viruses here to my network.

I dug out as much as I could using the normal tools, but the PC has so much shit on it that I told her it'd be easier to just reformat and reinstall. She gave me the ok and I began going through her documents to back things up. I asked her if there was anything I needed to be careful about opening at work, strictly as a joke, and she replied very seriously that her PC doesn't have stuff like that on it.

Guess what I found 5 minutes later?

Now either she missed that entire directory of videos when she was covering her tracks or she's never seen what was in her "My Music" directory.

1. Thank goodness, no.

2. Isn't it ALWAYS the fault of whoever else has access to the PC?
