Someone is hacking my computer. Help please

I work for local government. I'm the guy who, among other things reviews e retention policies and proper use policies. So to my surprise the tech services guy tells me I had been looking at porn and was reminded of the policy. Problem is I was not. Have never looked at porn on a work computer. ( I may be not the smartest guy in the room but Im not that dumb) Their printout showed my machine looking at some porn site on a days I was here. I usually delete browsing history periodically, But had not done so for three weeks. So I went back and looked at my history three weeks ago ( a week where my machine purportledy looked at a banned site) and lo and behold there was no history of me being at that site.

My office uses MS office XP with explorer of course. I would appreciate any suggestions or thoghts from some of you skilled with computers. What do you think is going on?

I changed my internal password as the request of tech services

There's a computer help section on DU that would be a much better resource for this. MiddleFingerMom Jan 2012 #1
