security

I am using a computer in LAN at my office. I am visiting
sites other than officially required , during office
hours. How can I know whether there is any programme
installed in the LAN so that somebody gets a list of the
sites that I visited? If there is one, can I remove or
deny access of my visited sites to that? Will the list be
sored in server anyway? If I am working with all other
computers off, ie not in LAN, any difference in the
informtion that my computer sends?

Ask your employer's LAN security administrator.

Probably.

Probably not.

Have you got a new resume ready? Getting fired for breach of policy of
company's computer use will hinder getting a reference from them in your job
search.

You can't. None of your business.

No. You don't own the computer.

Yes. They're called proxy logs.

Nope, unless you're bypassing proxy.
