Question by emily b: Nudie photos on my laptop. Can they access my files?
My laptop has broken and ive taken it into be repaired but just remembered there is some embarrasing nude photos playing around and possible a couple of videos. Will whoever fixes my computer be able to access these files? I have not had to give them my password as there is another log in they can use.

Probably yes, but depending on the type of repair, they really shouldn’t need to look at anything on your hard drive.

Yes.
When we had our computer fixed, the guy told my wife, “You know, you have an awful lot of porn on here. It’s probably what’s causing you to have viruses that take down the hard drive.”
It turned out that her ex-boyfriend had put a bunch of crap on there and hidden it.
They can see everything, unless you take some complex steps to block them.
Nude photos are embarrasing only if you posed there.
They will watch them.
Depending on what work is being done… any files can be accessed. Hopefully they at least aren’t pictures of you. Don’t EVER put something like that or even share in an email. Onces that’s done… they are all over the internet.
Hi!
Well whether you give them your password or not they may still be able to access your content when they connect your hard drive as a secondary to any desktop or laptop. Rather completely in true sense. Your only solution, if your hard drive works fine, then try connecting to another machine and extract the files(This provided you know how to open a laptop in the first place. If it is under warranty then you are better off not removing the hard disk out as this will void the warranty.) If you are uncomfortable then as ask a friend to do it for you. You will need an external SATA/PATA to USB cable which you can get at any hardware store.
If your hard disk is broken then you can try some recovery softwares like Norton Ghost, Stellar Phoenix Recovery etc. You need to connect the hard drive the same way like above before using the software.
If they notice them and have the extra time they might look but they see so many computers that have some porn downloaded on them that i doubt you have any causae for concern.
i might think about contacting the manager and explain your concerns as an adult. this would at the least put him on Notice that he will be held responsible if any problems arise from your particular problem.
If it’s porn then who cares! (they see that stuff every day!)
If it’s like nude pictures of like you and stuff then….hmm yeah….Just convince yourself that you’re not ashamed of your body and if they’re pervs for lookin!
ABSOLUTELY – they do not need your passwords or any other account information.
General internet porn is of no interest to them, personal pictures will be hunted down and copied off your drive with surprising efficiency and speed.
These folks work on computers all day long – they live for the scandalous discovery of this stuff. My advice? Be nice and polite when you go pick it up and make no mention of the files. Nothing will make your pictures end up on the internet faster than if you are mean or rude to them.
