Okay, as a spouse of a recovering porn addict I can offer some support. There are programs you can download that will email you the entire list of whatever was looked up and looked at on any computer you load it into. This little program can not get around it as I know what gets googled as well. Anytime the screen changes, the link is recorded before the cashe is deleted.
I ended up having to go to his work place (got permission after speaking with employer) and downloading it onto every computer he had access to as well as our home computer.

"as well as our home computer."
At this point you become stupid.
He shouldn't be doing that at work anyway, but home is none of your business.
It might sound invasively crazy
New and improved FUNDY. The religious crazy like you know it, with just a splash of illegal to give it that extra edge.

Heh, that program can be circumvented rather easily. It's called a Linux live CD. As a matter of fact, somebody really ought to send Funmudder's spouse several of them. He can go to Canonical and they'll ship him at least 10 of them for free. Sun gives out OpenSolaris discs that are rock-solid as well.

Well, he shouldn't be doing that at work anyhow, and most corporate IT departments have ways of finding that out--and then giving the offender the pink slip. Unless he works at home or is working for a small company, it's stupid because if he was looking at pornos on corporate time, he'd have been axed.
Of course, chances are this behaviour is a sign: you're just not doing it for him anymore and he's looking for a way out. And chances are nobody can really blame the guy...
Your husband is a wimp. He is being bullied by you. By rights, as a Christian man he should bitch-slap you until your teeth fall out, keep you permanently pregnant and chain you so you can just work the kitchen sink and the cooker.
You are no spouse. You are a bad-minded evil bitch.
OTOH, please let this be a POE.
In other words, as a good leading Christian husband, he's a total wimp unable to do things by himself. To the point that you have to look like a jealous nut and making him risk his job(he is not supposed to do it at worktime. By the way, I know NO BOSS who grants such liberties)
What's the problem with him looking at a little porn, anyway? Whenever my husband looks at porn, I reap the benefit of his, umm, "inspiration." It's just like reviewing class notes before the final, and if that little extra bit of studying enables him to pass with a "B+" or better, I'm certainly not complaining.
I agree that anyone feeling the need to look at porn at work probably has a problem, but surely its a matter between the man and the employer not the guys wife? As for looking at porn at home, a linux live CD would be a great idea. Perhaps if he knows he can freely look at porn at home he won't be so tempted to do it at work.

Sorry, but that's bullshit... no employer would EVER allow that to happen.
If this actually happened, I'm sure that really impressed the hell out of his boss, having his crazy-ass wife storm in there with her own special spyware because "my husband is a recovering porn addict." I am, in fact, amazed that he still has that job and she still has that husband!
I'd point out that this isn't particularly fundamentalist and that pron addiction is a real psychological problem (for instance, those actually addicted to pornography have trouble maintaining arousal/achieving orgasm without pornography; effectively choosing porn over actual sex).
Regardless of why this lady is doing it, it clearly has the permission of her husband to do this; he recognizes he has a problem and wants it solved.
"Gonna call Poe or Troll because no employer would let one of his employees wives install random programs on a bunch of computers."
I bet they would if the place of employment was Strickland Propane :P
"I ended up having to go to his work place (got permission after speaking with employer) and downloading it onto every computer he had access to"
I call BS on this part. No decent sysadmin would let an employee, let alone a non-employee related to an employee, just come in and install whatever the hell they wanted on the network.
Actually, having been through my partner's porn addiction, this isn't really fundie, and isn't even necessarily a bad idea.
Well, if he was actually addicted, that wouldn't be so bad.
More likely, he was just casually looking at porn once in a while and his wife orchestrated a massive invasion of his privacy just to get him to stop. That's not intervention, it's manipulation. Congratulations.

Oh, funmudder, you get more interesting by the day...
You know, other than the software, ever think of finding a therapist who's familiar with this sort of thing? Can't hurt, might help.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
