Many companies have security features in place that would allow you to go to "I need flowers for mom's birthday.com" while blocking "who is the hottest pole dancer.com", along with not being able to install unauthorized software. Plus we don't know if this specific computer was connected to a secure network or a separate computer setup for use during time off or slow periods.
