mikey10 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I once worked with a girl who got the sack for inappropriate use of email and internet at work. Can the various I.T. sections really see where we've been even if we delete history, files and cookies? I'm a bit worried about it because I sometimes nip on of a day when I'm bored.

kittenta Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 would any employers find it a bit worrying if someone was deleteing the history all the time? Unless they were told to at the end of the day of course. Maybe this would make them keep a close eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they can, apparently nothing is ever completely deleted, thats why its so easy to catch people nowadays when they are doing, or looking at dodgy stuff on their PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I work any image displayed via a site or sites visited are stored on a local machine that records all Internet history I so miss my old job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womerry2 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I work for a company where computer use is routinely logged and checked against time sheet codes. This has in the past led to dismissal of someone who was accessing private files stored on the PC while logged into a client code. If your PC is on a network, chances are your transactions will be recorded, and there is always the possibility that your employer might decide to examine the information.

torin8 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If they wanted to they can see everything you do on the internet at work. However if you are concerned they should have declared what they are monitoring to you when you started the job so I'd consult your personnel dept if you want further detail.

JoeP Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Most large organisations will now pass all web traffic through a web firewall that is configured to allow access to sites based on content or a list of banned and allowed sites. The software can also log the amount of time spent on sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
