Coworker..trojan virus... adult friend finders?

Hey. Let me get you caught up.

I work in a dealership and my coworker (who I dont really enjoy) caught a trojan virus on his computer. Along with about 38 other viruses and close to 300 adware and spyware. My boss asked me to clean it up and asked me privately if it was porn. I said i didnt know. Well today I was finishing cleaning it up and of course... I found adult friend finders and the like. Now this not only makes me really uncomfortable at my job, being a teenage and my co-worker being in his late 40's/50's but I also don't know how to approach my boss with this information.

How would you handle it and what should I do to make sure Im not in any danger. Usually its just me and him at the workplace. Thanks in advance for your help.

As has been said, AFF cookies can be picked-up from any number of "non-adult" sites. If he's ever visited Lavalife for one site, he could have caught it there.

Simply typing in his e-mail account on a seemingly innocuous website, or if he sends his e-mail address as an active link in his outbound e-mails, there are bots that can grab them and use them to send e-mails to from "inappropriate" or even fraudulent sites.

The presence of the trojan and ad/spyware muddies the problem. You will have to check the activity logs in the company's server (if any), or on the computer itself to see how much time...and when...he was on the sites in question. Make sure you print the logs. Also make sure you find and remove all "Shadow" (aka "Slave") programs. They can allow anyone with the Master to call-up the computer's IP address and dowload files or execute programs without you knowing about it.
