go to your boss and tell him you want to use the works computer for your own pleasure instead of working
no doubt he will give you what ever password is needed

Follow the adivce above and you are looking for trouble. I administer a network of over 1,000 users and through our software SurfControl (probably the most common) I can not only see what sites/IP's you have been to but also rank them by usage and traffic. So even ones I don't know of will soon be blocked when I see the obvious abuse. Even if I block your site and you use a proxy to get around it I will still see the traffic and block the proxy.
If I see your sites in the top 100 I trace them back by IP to your PC and there starts the disciplinary process. Proceed at your peril...

I had this problem at school but I have found a very simple solution. Alot of website blockers block the website but not the website ip address.
Go to here and type in the website eg www.youtube.com
http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php
The ip address for youtube is 208.65.153.253
Type that in where you would normally type in youtube.com
it will then work if you click, a video and it says it is blocked look back at the top and it will say www.youtube.com/whatever
replace www.youtube.com with the website ip again and it will work.
so it should look like 208.65.153.253/whatever
If they ban the ip address of a website or that does not work go to no-ip.com and sign up for free. Then when it asks for an ip insert the website ip address and you will have to give it a website name e.g. youtube.no-ip.com
About 5 min later go to the website you chose and it will work

Lol alot of these people saying u should be working are either at work now giving answers or un-enployed teh... take the risk mate you get 3 warnings :) remember to delete files cookies, clear history etc.... from internet options in control panel. They might have a log on there main server of what sites you visited so becareful ( i think its kaspersky that logs what sites you have been on, so disable before) test it on someone elses computer in the office before you go on :) try even the bosses computer if he goes out lol
good luck !

I don't know what your company is like but they apply restrictions not just to stop you enjoying yourself but for security reasons. I work for a large multi national company who not only dismiss people for trying to bypass security, they prosecute. If it's worth losing your job for follow the instructions in a couple of the answers above, but remember it's not easy to get employment and it's harder still if you were dismissed from your previous job.

Yeah, go to the following site:

Is it really worth getting fired for? Have a family? The policies are there for a purpose.

Are you willing to take the risk and loose your job in the process? The blockages were applied at the company firewall level. It has nothing to do with your IE.

If you company blocks specific domain names, (such as youtube.com) you'd need some kind of proxy / cloaking service that relays all http requests. Setting up a good service would be very time consuming, but I bet someone somewhere has done it.

1) Ask your boss if he will deduct some pay from your wage in order to compensate him for the time you are spending on the Internet when he is paying you to work.
2) Offer to pay your boss for using his computers and his paid internet access.
3) Alternatively do it in your own time and on your own PC
