RE: Can't Get Caught
there are several ways.. if you netscape is 'late' enough.. there is a tools, options, wipe function.. I use explorer now.. but you can find it.

Let me know if you need help.. and make sure you are not ARCHIVING all the locations also.. make it read ZERO days.

Thanks Aero. I took care of that too. To tell the truth the guy has no idea how to turn the thing on, but I might as well cover my bases.

If you;re really paranoid, go under my computer, windows, cookies and delete everything in that folder.

Chewy -
If I were with you,
We would then be two.
Then we could cross the floor
And pass through the Door.

Oh I don't know, I'm kind of partial to a good old fashioned FDISK. That typically takes care of anyone finding out where I've been on their web browser!!! hehehe

RE: Can't Get Caught
Newgirl, you need to have a budget spreadsheet iconized down at the bottom of the screen ready to pop-up when the boss comes in. This evolve into the "How to hide out at Trail Talk while you're at work" thread

Wide or wipe, Rosey? Just kidding. Gotcha'! I am the IT nerd, Town. No Violin, keep the door there until I say to take it out. Gojo, I do not understand the game and I don't want to play.

Aero, I prefer to keep the Quickbooks icon handy. Good idea for a thread. So, what does everybody do?

See how helpful I am to you Gojo!? You wouldn't have known if I hadn't asked da' question. Don't you feel sneaky? Aero, did you get my e-mail?

I also like to have a To Do list laying around and a few piles of paperwork. I pretty much don't have anything to complain about. My job is pretty easy.

I work on the web so I usually have about 3 browser windows open at a time. Not to mention any tools I might be using.

RE: Can't Get Caught
I bet Belle erases the addresses before you get home Gojo. She doesn't want you to see the porn sites she visits.

RE: Can't Get Caught
If I post at work, I keep my e-mail server minimized so I can quick bring up "Just checkin' my e-mail." 'Course, most of the time, my boss is like "What's happenin' on TT today?"

RE: Can't Get Caught
We have run several 'web agents' and I gotta admit I was stunned. bacpac was not the worst offender.

The most 'PC' folks are the worst offenders.

This software cheap and it is lethal. If you think your boss does not know, you are kidding yourself.

RE: Can't Get Caught
Bad news for ya...

You're trying to hide the tracks of your net use that are on your PC, but if you are at work, everything you do on the net is going through a firewall, and other assorted software. Most likely, your employer has a complete trail of every site you go to, how often, etc. And you have no way of deleting it.

Changing the address drop-downs and erasing the history just removes your trail on your PC. If your employer wants to see where you've been, they don't need to see your PC at all.

Other tricks:
Make your cookie file and cache read only.

Use a web mail account instead of your corporate email system.

Some companies only backup once a day or week. Email that is downloaded and deleted the same day sometimes does not get backed up. Put sensitive email immediately on a disk and take it home with you -- don't leave it in your desk. A floppy at home is harder to subpoena than one at the office.

Browse through anonymizer.com

Use a cleaning program like EZ Cleaner frequently.

Clean the wastebasket and history files daily.

Defrag frequently.

Many software programs exist that allow your system manager to monitor your computer use even with the above listed tricks.

The best defense is only use the work computer for real work and save the playing and surfing for home.

RE: Can't Get Caught
Lotta good ideas here but I have the foolproof way to not get busted...don't post from work if you don't have permission to be on the web. Wait 'til you get home or get to the library if you don't have a home PC.
