Can any of the wise people on here answer this please.
I use the PC at work to view this site and respond to ads etc. Although there isnt a ban on doing this, will our I.T bods be able to see what I am looking at and (even worse) will they be able to read the emails and messages i send and receive on here?
Thanks in advance.
They will most likely be able to see what sites you have viewed and maybe some of the content but I doubt they will be able to see any pm's or emails sent via the site unless they have a password logger and can gain acsess to your account (always something to think about when logging on from a pc other than your own)
If you can clear your temp internet file and history every time you log off that will help then its only whats hidden in the log files and cookies.
You can delete the cookies individualy if you know where to find them, I can direct you if needed, or you can use a program called CCleaner, but thats a lot deeper and cleans everything all histories of all programs although you can set it up to just clean certain programs.
On straight look with nothing done they will see what sites you have looked at and anything you can see as a free member, depends on how deep you think they will look if they even want to, this is the dangers of looking at work. PM if you want specific advise.
They will most likely have a server log detailing what sites are accessed, for how long and by whom. Deleting your history / cookies will have no effect on this log.
It is also possible they have a Virtual Network Client (VNC) where they can view your screen if they choose. Most places will tell you about this due to privacy concerns.
Without knowing exactly what kit/software your firm have deployed, or the level of competency/curiosity of the IT crew, it's almost impossible to answer your questions.
However, I can answer you with another question: What's more important to you? A quick shufty at SH during the working day, or your employment?
If you value the second then wait 'til you get home to do the first :thumbup:
Lordy! Think you might be living dangerously here Dave, for the reasons outlined above.
Best wait til you get home fella!
Thanks for that everyone. I have no worries about getting sacked I just didnt want any of my staff finding out about this site or any personal info. I might be passing on via email on here.
