Spyware watches you work: report

[Security]

Scary...


Spyware has infected almost all companies polled for a survey about web-using habits at work. Nine out of 10 of the technology managers questioned said machines at their firm had programs that spied on the browsing habits of staff.

The computer staff estimated that, on average, 29% of work PCs had spyware surreptitiously installed on them.

By contrast only 6% of users questioned believed that the machine they use had been infected by such software.

I don't find this surprising at all, especially in a work setting. Really, anyone who thinks nobody knows what their doing online at work is kidding themselves.

There are quite a few people I work with who have no idea that someone can install a piece of software and see what they are doing. I would not be sureprised to find out a large portion of the population does not even think it is possible, or have no clue that employers do track employee useage.

Most employers include this information in their internet useage policy, so if people don't know it's largely because they haven't looked at the policy

Buri: Do you use this spyware? How has it worked?

[Buri]

Yes I use it. I like real time protection, cause is FREE. Spybot is free as well, but there is no auto update and virus scan.
