Only if they have access. The IT folks can see everything you look at and can even check every email you sent and received, and keystroke can tell them even more than that. When you are at work you are on their equipment and their network. I would advised people to keep their personal stuff at home.

If you do not have firewall and anti-virus software on your computer it is possible. You innocently click on a URL and a trojan worse is put on your computer. Click again and an e-mail is sent to someone that is spying on you.
This is illegal but employers often have background checks done by small companies without a lot of certification or supervision.
I believe people that get uptight about what the government does may be naive about what happens in the business and private sectors.

diverse employers are searching for for countless issues. some hire businesses that carry out heritage searches which incorporate previous employment, preparation and offender information. i'm continuously curious if there's a sparkling spot in somebody's paintings historic previous -- the two the guy replaced into unemployed, or is leaving out an business company. it relatively is a pink flag to me.

Yes, it's called computer forensics and Kerry is dead wrong. The computer is company property and case law is very clear on the subject that the employer has a reasonable right to insure their property is not being abused or used illegally.
You have no privacy rights in the workplace while utilizing company property.

Why worry if you're not doing anything subversive? Be aware that Big Brother is here so mind your manners and don't break the laws. Amazing how they can do all that but can't keep track of our border crossings, isn't it?

I believe that you heard wrong. You would have to sign a release for them to specifically get access to your Internet providers records.

Yes and see all your emails and IMs even if you deleted them.
Unless the hard-drive is wiped any one can see all. You can wipe it only with a very strong magnet place on the hard drive. But it make the hard-drive useless. Re formatting can help but you can still pick up pieces.

If you visit websites on a company computer, then yes.
At your home computer, no. That is illegal wiretapping and VERY illegal with strict penalties.
