Look, even schools are using this same type of technology. Most of the major energy companies, (who I have done work with), use the same thing. There is a differance between privacy, and us owning a computer, and wanting to make sure its not mis-used.
We aren't going to sit there all day and watch our employees, nor will we record any of it. Its strictly if we glance at it, we can make sure everything looks normal. If there are problems, we can fix them. Filters don't always work... there are many ways to circumvent them (esp. when your employees are computer specialists) VNC, can be set to not show properties, and CTRL-ALT-DEL, can also be set not to come up. -----Original Message----- From: Harty, Brook [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 4:33 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Multiple Viewer VNC doesn't make good spyware in its stock form, but that's another story. Spyware in a company is a bad idea, just filter the web content and email for porn urls and terrorist urls, and leave sleeping dogs lie. Disclaimers don't stop you from being sued and/or fined. You should only have to take drastic measures when you have a visible performance problem with the employees. And if you do use spyware, let me know where your located, so I can let my colleagues know to avoid working at your company. -Brook Harty -----Original Message----- From: AceMiles.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 1:28 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Multiple Viewer We aren't spying on them, they know we can take over their computers at anytime. Many large corporations do this same thing. We own the computers, they are just using them. We can do whatever we want with them :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 12:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multiple Viewer I do not think it's a legitimate use to implement it as "Spyware". Even if the ACLU or other civil rights groups do not BBQ you, the bad press isn't worth it. You are better off controlling at the hardware level. Remove the games, filter the web browsers at the server, lock down policies on the workstations so unauthorized software cannot be installed, ... Ultimately, if your employees are not trustworthy, spying on them is only going to make them sneakier, wasting even more of their time and energy as well as yours.
