Actually, IT has all the right, and they don't even have to use your machine to do so. Everything is stored for at least a period of time, including your surfing results. And most companies have policies these days regarding what you use your machine for.
I had to write up a manager about a year ago for porn on his machine. He claimed pop ups put it there while surfing a gambling site. Just as bad. But the pop up comment was a silly lie. Now it will take some time to gain trust back with this guy.
If everyone just did their job and had fun with fellow employees things would usually be OK. It's this other stuff, especially alone, that cuases bigger problems. I'd overlook some horseplay with others at work much quicker than on-line porn on work equipment.
Good luck!
