Most companies such as yours advertise your tools as "spying" tools and I see that as a way too emotive word. That being the case why do you think companies such as yours brand it as such? Secondly, the other thing that springs to mind is the question of "the tools don't work anyway" - how would you respond to that? If you prefer, drop me an email and we'll turn it into a Q&A as I don't mind helping companies out - and I've never heard of yours. Ken thanks for the comment even though it's a blatant advert :)

Either way, if you own a computer that someone else uses -- even in a church -- you have the right and the responsibility to know how that machine is used. if the users complain about "privacy" tell them 2 things: 1) there is no privacy on the Internet, so stop right there, but also 2) this is MY machine and I need to know how it is used. you want privacy – stay home and lock your doors and close the blinds. heh he <a href="http://www.pcpandora.com" target="_blank">http://www.pcpandora.com</a> <a href="http://www.theofficesoftware.com" target="_blank">http://www.theofficesoftware.com</a> Use something like our office productivity tool, The Office Software (theOS) or our home/family software PC Pandora.

Why? Well it's the same argument being put forward by the current UK government to bring in swinging changes in personal freedoms and liberty. The sentiment is accurate though. If one is simply doing their work then they have no reason to wrry about what is implemented so long as it isn't intrusive and the monitoring policy is well documented beforehand. The main point is that the equipment doesn't belong to the employee and there is no expectation of privacy .. or is there? It's a valid idea but not one that bears a great deal of scrutiny. Why?

Another thing I would add, is that some people within the church may become offended that there is a monitoring policy being implemented. But in light of the statistics posted above, I would respond to that person, "if you're not doing anything wrong then there's no reason to worry" :) All very good and interesting ideas that have been put forward.

He has managed to piece things together and find his way back into his email accounts, computers and everything, and even remember his PINs for banking, but it was a challenge.
