FireIce SG

depends on how zai the IT dept is loh
whether the company got allocate the IT budget to install tracking systems or not
but general things like which website u go, wat u download, easily can check one

of cos, user wun know one

Can. In my company, only managers and aboved are given special passwords to surf the internet, by using the co pc. So when some of them misused this, causing the intranet to slow down. Email send out by the IT dept 'warn' them not to 'over do it' or will take actions Laughing .

Do wat you want but dun get caught. Never learn while you served ur NS meh?

Fireindahouse SG

not yet 18.havent serve lah....
btw i dont intend to download anything from the web,just play a movie from thumbdrive on wmp...

abao SG

Provided that

1. Your thumbdrive is clean
2. You do not install things without the company's permission and
3. You do not watch during working time,

Most companies wouldnt mind you doing such things. We are all humans ma Smile

But they can track if they have the necessary software and manpower... to me its redundant to do so, cos its a waste of time and resources.

My co IT dept as 'strong' as the CIA Laughing

Unless you are working in an IT company, I think you need not worry about this ba. I think WMP saves a history of files played, so you may want to run a media player program from your thumbdrive instead. And if there's any special tracking program, chances are you won't know it. Just ask your colleagues if anyone was caught doing similar things before.

Anyway, you remind me of this joke.

I know a lot of US companies do that. In Singapore, I'm not sure of the situation.

If you are from an MNC... especially one from the Europe or US... most likely will have some sort of tracking programs in place.

Also... Windows keeps a record of what you do... even if you tell it not to. Half a year of doing forensics tells me that.

of coz can.
They can also track your msn conversation, with who, what time, talk about what.
If they want, they can even find out the password you entered in your email unless you using HTTPS.
That is why I bring my M1 broadband device to work everyday. If anything confidential, take out my "anti-CIA" device.
