Part of my job is to monitor Internet activity at work. Caught one of the Company Director's soliciting prostitutes on the web not so long ago.
At first, I thought he was surfing for porn, but then I realised he was looking at massage parlour / escort sites based in Cambridgeshire when he was in that particular area for a meeting one day, then a couple of sites in the Bury area when he was up at Warrington.
Did some digging, and it seems he stays away from home a lot during the working week.
Did I grass him up ? Of course. Did he lose his job some months later. Yes. Was I happy. Yes.
Had nothing to do with him doing an office re-arrange some months earlier, and me ending up getting kicked out of my nice big office, in favour of sharing a smaller one with 2 other Managers. Honest.
I fail to see anything wrong with it TBH
as for being caught on the internet...unless you count playing tetris then no

Occasionally Internet Explorer will suddenley start opening new browser windows which I can't shut down or Alt Tab away from.
It did this the other day as someone started walking towards my desk and I had Dazc's "Tiny Day" thread up. I was desperately trying to figure of way of instantly shutting down my laptop or face having to explain why I had 72 browsers open with pics of Dazc 
They never got as far as my desk but I spend about 6½ hours of my day on the net at work so it's only a matter of time.

Out of curiosity, can work monitor your IT usage even if you dont see that vsm icon or another type of monitor software on your comp?......................
For example, can even if you delete cookies, temp files, history etc, can they still see how much time in total youve spent in a day on it and such?
Absolutely they can. If you work for a larger company they'll probably use some kind of web monitoring software that records everywhere you go on some kind of server (most likely the internet proxy server). If you work for a smaller company this is less likely, although a lot of the smaller consumer-type broadband routers have basic internet logging on board.
I'd say that you should assume your surfing is being logged, unless you know for definate that it isn't. Whether anyone bothers to read the logs is a different matter. In most cases nobody would bother unless caught and stuck on a disciplinary. But a word of warning, it's possible to set "limits" on browsing that pop up a warning someone for someone to check what you're looking at. So you may get caught if you surf to excess or visit the wrong sites - even if nobody catches you in the act!

Yeah I got caught out online at work. There is a thread about it buried away somewhere in MT.
I had a telesales job that was a doddle...so I spent a huge amount of the day on MT...I was a very active member then.
I was posting most of the day on MT, and I also was operating my own website business for my office.
I was chastised verbally several times for being online, and kinda ignored those warnings, and the office memos that went around. I then arrived at work one day to find a letter on my desk from the MD. I was summoned for a meeting in which I was given a final written warning and then the chance to appeal.
I declined the appeal, and came clean. The MD has said if I dared to appeal he would have fired me. I ended up being moved to another position, which was OK, but left the company soon after...
So be careful guys!
Edited to add - I do agree i was wrong, but didnt agree with company policy in this case. I have worked in too many places, were tardiness, absenteeism and a general poor quality of customer service exists....but as in this example, their only real concern was over net usage....

Oh man, I better stop then.
Thanks for your response, yeah, the company I work for is a large org. Hmmmm, I talk to a few of the IT, maybe I should pally up with them and if my name comes up, theyll edit it a little.
I visit quite a few restricted sites but not on purpose, I look at shares and the like but when I click on some links to lead me some literature, I get a page saying its been restricted because its got the words gambling or words to do with it on the page i.e. spread betting.
Still in my probationary period too!
Cool, cheers, bud, thanks for replying.

You could do what I do and remote control your PC / laptop at home?
Even though where I work it's extremely relaxed and nobody cares, they are trialling a web blocking system in the IT dept at the moment, which I come under. It's with a view to rolling it out to the whole Uni, not for the sake of trying to catch people out and monitor stuff, it's because there have been some incidents where VERY unsavoury sites have been visited and I think some external visitors have complained or something.
So even though I surf the net on the Uni proxy at work, I have a window constantly open which is remoting my laptop at home, so I can effectively surf my laptop at home, which I do for various sites which I'd rather were not logged at work.
I use "Log me In" - it is free and very good.

Easy as hell. With the right tools I would (legitimately) be able to monitor what you do, where you go and the passwords you use...

Websense is a very popular tool that the analysts use.
If your logged onto your works domain/LAN locally or via a VPN then you WILL be logged.
However as RHF says Log me In is a clever tool to combat this.

I just think its sad that some people get enjoyment from this kind of thing and openly admit to it.
Why not have a quiet word with the guy, show him what you know. And explain what will happen if he is caught doing it in future.
The poster was not happy that he had to move from his big office to a smaller office so he felt the need to "grass him up" so he lost his job. I really cannot see a level where this would give anyone satisfaction.
It would give me satisfaction to pre-warn the guy so that he could stop, that way he wont do it again and he still has a job?
why f*ck up somebodies livelyhood just because you had to sit in an office with 2 other managers. People get killed for this kind of thing and you openly admit to it on an internet forum.
It just suprises me how much peole are prepared to go out of their way to ruin another persons life, over something so petty.
