the company i work for is quite liberal about internet use, as long as it’s not porn or some other inappropriate material.
the environment is well-protected with various virus protections including a Cisco agent and of course a fortified firewall. the IT guy ran a complete virus scan and was unable to locate it at first. he said it could have been masquerading as another application. we eventually located an application called something like a profile cleaner which apparently destroyed the user profile.
i KNOW it was from orly’s site because i only had the google homepage open at the time, then navigated to orly’s site and that’s when stuff started disappearing.
the IT guy was able to restore a new profile and then the PC went back to normal.
Thanks.
Sounds more like something was lurking in the background either waiting for you to go to the Orly website or else just the unlucky timing. Most serious corporate IT is good enough to keep browser applications from bursting out of the browser.
