cotejb Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 My job is very lenient on internet usage and will let you use the internet for personal use throughout the day as long as it doesn't interfere with your productivity. Well a few weeks ago I was on Gottadeal and entering contests and the IT guy comes in my office asking what girldirector.com is. I tell him I have no clue. That kinda frieked me out b/c they thought I was looking at porn at work. Well today I was on Gottadeal at work and a lady in IT who I'm friends with emails me and says whatever site I am on is coming up on the firewall as girldirector.com and asks me to please exit the site. I'm not sure if it is the actual gottadeal site, but the only other two sites I was on at that time frame was the papermate contest and the subway contest. Whatever it was, I am no longer allowed to view Gottadeal at work
fairydustcrissy Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 odd. I just typed in girldirector.com, its one of those "for sale" addys. How odd. I'm sure there is a reason for it, I just dont know what the heck it is!
Missy Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 I told my boss about gottadeal and now he is hooked too , so when i take a break and go into the office to catch up on what i have missed , sometimes he can tell me whats going on before i even sign on. lol
cotejb Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 It was something like a for sale addy in English for Russia or something but it had porn words on the site too like sex and hot girls, etc.....
christmasangel Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Uh oh- maybe i should stop looking at it at work too! Thank goodness i'm on vacation this week!
CG480 Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Would it help if you showed them this site. That it is a family pace and not some porm site.
bayhaysay Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Hmm, that's weird. I know someone else who looks at this site alot at work. I wonder if I should warn her?
cotejb Posted December 29, 2005 Author Posted December 29, 2005 I've showed them the site but its just b/c of what comes up... I don't know if that site is some type of spyware or what since I don't really know how that works. What I don't understand is the bad site doesn't even come up on my actual computer. It just comes up under their firewall as a blocked site. But I guess since I work for the state they don't want to take any chances (hackers, viruses, etc.) I will just have to be bored to death until I get home and finally talk my DH into letting me on the computer.
Aaron Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 girldirector.com isn't even a site. It's just some weird ad based sity.
ihsteven Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I would run a spyware check on your computer though. Then explain that GD is a site that probably will offer your co-workers, IT guys so nice deals on electronics, and the like. Then they will open it faster than you can say firewall. -Steven
