Friends,

Can anyone tell me if the text messages,photos shared, web cam images can be viewed by anyone else on a networked computer? like if the computer is connected to a company network, portal with administrator rights and all that jazz. As we USE the messenger quite a bit me and my partner here where we work. Our computer is on a company network. Any ideas will be greatly welcome
thanks. I am not so much of a computer literate person.

Companies are becoming more and more concerned in how their machines are being used in the workplace...
I would use common sense and err on the side of caution.
If they want to find out bad enough trust me they can.

patio. 8-)It's likely that they do not, HOWEVER, some companies insert keyloggers into their employees' computers to track what they're doing. You never know. Play it safe.

Thanks a LOT for your REPLY. But do these texts, photos and web cam images etc... lie on the companies servers? what about yahoo's / msn Google (or which ever messenger is being used) servers. And is it possible to retireve at some time later?
regards
The SaintI cannot answer what is on the company's server, becuase I do not know if they have inserted a keylogger into your computer, etc. I would imagine if anything, only keystrokes are being logged, as it would be harder to log an entire web CONVERSATION. Also, with Google, etc., they supposedly insert a cookie on your computer that tracks what you search on their website. I'm not sure, but I think it's only for statistical information. I can't say for sure however.

FlameFlame,

Thanks a lot for your advice and time spent answering my questions.

cheers
The SaintNo problem. Come back and see us if you have any more issues.
