Not Busted, But It Could Happen, Computer use Warning

[Sarasometimes]

Although i admit this is unlikely, it occered to me the other day when posting here that when you cut or copy text and then paste it, it is still saved. If another user activates a paste your saved message will appear.
I found this accidentally when I thought I had copied a newer passage from an email and when I hit paste the forum phrase appeared.
Just and FYI to those closeted like me.

They used to say don't put anything on line you don't want to be seen. I guess now it's don't put anything on the computer you don't want seen. Matters little to me either way. :battingeyelashes::)

I had my PC cleaned out recently via a remote tech and I'm sure they saw everything.
Spoke with the tech on the phone as she was doing it and she never said a word.
She was very nice and professional.
I'm sure she saw my pics but I didn't care to be honest.

I think as a computer technician, you should be like a catholic priest in the confessional.
An untold swearing to secrecy.
I have learned a lot about professional people after debugging their computers.
You do have to tell the "victim" matter of factly not to visit a particular pornographic site as it is a trouble spot for viruses.
I do say that they are not the only ones that have the problem.
I do not want my clients to feel alone. :)
I get to see enough pornography and pirated software on others computers without looking for it myself.

Hi Sara, That stuff has a very long shelf life.

The idea of a female computer tech seeing photos of me dressed is a bit of a turn on! LOL!

Sara...I've had the same thing happen to me. Another one is your search history and the way google pulls up past search phrases. Could be trouble if someone else does a search on your computer and the almighty google pops up past searches for transsexuals, gid, etc. I never let anyone use my personal computer and I don't do anything on public computers that I wouldn't want others to see.
