http://groups.google.com

and search for the "Surfing at Work" You'll find this covered very
well - and even find postings from wankers who have been fired for
this, whining that the employer had no right to do that to them.

Do you honestly think that because your SSL session (trivial to detect)
can't be decoded, the employer is going to ignore it? You are either
extremely stupid (and should be fired as unsuitable for the job) or are
on drugs. If they are prescription drugs, contact your doctor immediately.

You're joking, right? And you haven't seen ANY posting in this group
about stuff that runs on the firewall.

>Also, its my understanding that using a keyboard log program is illegal.

Don't ask for "legal" opinions on Usenet - they're worth less than what
you paid for them. Consult your own lawyer. And this has also been
covered many times on Usenet.

>Is this correct?

You're posting from an IP address allocated to Illinois. IF you can prove
to a judge that you were never warned that your use of the computer may
be monitored, you might get a finding in a "Wrongful dismissal" case. Do
let us know.
