I'm a bit pissed off this morning
Found that management had installed NetOp on my machine without telling me
( emvee I wanna do bad things to you, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:47, archived)

Oh joys :/
If I recall correctly that's some sort of sniffer program isn't it? Monitors your internet usage?
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:47, archived)

EEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Not the Fun Police!!!???!
( Cheeky Boy! loves horses..., Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:49, archived)

That'd be the buggers.
I hate the fun police.
However NetOp might not be what I think it is...
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:50, archived)

Well a quick google suggests that it's some kind of remote desktop thing
So I'd put money on it being a tool of the fun police.

SEXY NAKED TIME!
i hope i'll still be able to look you in the eye next mini-bash
*worries.....and fears a little too*
( ivesb Assistant Clinical Physiologist extraordinary, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:54, archived)

I might have to go along to one of these bashes.
Might drag out the lovely Brain_Error too ;)
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:56, archived)

a lunch time mini-bash?
where are you?
( ivesb Assistant Clinical Physiologist extraordinary, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:57, archived)

Nah I meant one of the big ones.
I might even put one on myself at some point in the near future...

Who here lives near Bristol?
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:58, archived)

nope. hampshire.

( ivesb Assistant Clinical Physiologist extraordinary, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:59, archived)

Is Bristol near Leeds?

( bilbobarneybobs is a financial spacktard, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 10:05, archived)

Uh.... not exactly.
You have a car?
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 10:06, archived)

Haha yes
It was password-protected too so I couldn't turn it off...

so I did a search for the executable files, stopped them running as processes and then uninstalled the bloody thing. I expect I'll get a call about that at some point.
( emvee I wanna do bad things to you, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:49, archived)

oh dear.
don't get fired will you.
( ivesb Assistant Clinical Physiologist extraordinary, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:50, archived)

Hurrah!
Workarounds are always handy :)
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:50, archived)

Yeah
they're really going to have to try harder than that if they want to catch me spending all day on b3ta
( emvee I wanna do bad things to you, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:52, archived)

ummm
NetOP is not for spying but for remote control and configuration, like DameWare, iirc
( pzyko is a whaler on the moon and carries a harpoon, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:58, archived)

Ah you're right
I wasn't entirely sure.
On the other hand those programs can be used to monitor your usage simply by sharing your desktop...
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 10:00, archived)

I suspect this is the case
I think management jsut want to be able to look at what I'm doing at any given moment.

The fact that it was installed overnight without a word to me is also kinda suspicious
( emvee I wanna do bad things to you, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 10:03, archived)

Unfortunately you have to expect it really.

( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 10:05, archived)

Indeed :)

Your mind has been pissed in thoroughly.
'Ning to you!

reacharounds are better tho....

Sorry but from being ex IT
You have to remember it's not your machine, it's the companies. Well that's the way they se it anyway.

miserable bastards.

( ivesb Assistant Clinical Physiologist extraordinary, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:53, archived)

I know
but my boss has been trying to fire me for months now and every time he's spectacularly failed...I have grievance claims for constructive dismissal queued up against him.

Looking for a new job.

You could join the militant wing of the Salvation Army!

( riverghost Discomeats likes pies, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:56, archived)

Yeah but surely you've got a right to know if you're being monitored?

( 4dam party, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:57, archived)

No you don't actually

( riverghost Discomeats likes pies, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:58, archived)

erm
yes you do
( The King of Hats The bigger they are, the Hadoken they fall!, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 10:38, archived)

Nope.
Basically, whenever you use a PC in an office, you should expect to be monitored.
It's all in the 'Internet Usage' policy thing...

I know this because I've caused several people to get fired (I actually installed the monitoring software - and monitor it ;)
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:59, archived)

I'll just say that I thought my machine was in danger of being hacked
They never mentioned they were going to put monitoring software on my PC, so I was concerned that it was an unauthorised attempt to gain access to company information.
( emvee I wanna do bad things to you, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:59, archived)

Yeah. Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

( ivesb Assistant Clinical Physiologist extraordinary, Wed 14 Mar 2007, 9:50, archived)

My bit's looking a bit grey to be honest.
And I don't mean the board background.

I want more sun :(
