Probably, especially since they are paying for the network resources in the first place. They can even read your e-mail and have access to anything on your PC at work, as that, too, is their property. Privacy issues are out the window when you are using school, work, university, and organization computer syetems and networks.
Some corporate entities will allow you to check your personal e-mail on your breaks, or other times that you are not conducting their business, but remember what they are paying you for - work!
Do your surfing at home or on your own time off premises. There are WiFi locations around that you can use, like an Internet cafe at lunchtime.
Incidentally, great question! I wish more people would have asked it before I had to play good system cop, bad system cop and restricted many a user account or had to wipe their PC clean because the porn they downloaded infected their PC and caused hours of downtime.

Several Employees have been terminated at my Company for being on line, when it was not work related. Some were shopping on line, downloading porn, using messenger, emailing non work related issues. It is a chance, one takes and the penalty can be a job.

Yes. You should be working while at work instead of surfing the web. Plus no company wants to get a virus in their system and if you get on the Internet, you are more likely to get a virus.

You're always on line at work, whether your on the Internet or not. But as above, big brother is watching you.
