Today we are going to talk about your privacy when using a computer at work. Did you know that almost everything you do on a work computer at your place of employment is most likely carefully monitored? The truth is that almost all companies now monitor what their employees are doing on the Internet while at work. In fact, many companies go a step further and check up on what you are posting on Facebook and Twitter even when you are off the clock. Lets start out at your place of employment. First thing that you have to remember is that the machine you are using at your place of work is not your machine. The computer is the property of the company you are working for. If an employee uses that computer for shopping during working hours, there is always the risk of contracting a serious virus that could take down the entire office network. This is not something any company wants to have to deal with as it means a serious loss of revenue and productivity.
