Hi All,

I recently joined a new company in the great NW. This company has internet monitoring tools in place. This would bother me if it was my home system but it isn't. I use antionline email. When I logoff from the antionline mail box the ad pop-up appears. I am not sure what it is advertising -because it is blocked by the server. I don't think it was pornographic in nature or about hacking (both which I have found to be blocked -the first is stipluated in the policy the second because I've been blocked).

I find these tools to be poor. I do not know which one is in place here but I wonder if they have ever been effective. I've heard the stories of software in schools blocking access to pages on breast cancer.

It seems to me that it would be more effective to log all visited sites and then grep the logs looking for keywords.

Comments welcome.
