Its not on the computers themselves. Just on the network. The guys in my dept have total, within reason, control of our computers. Install what we want and so forth. They are monitoring traffic to websites, bandwith, with the capability to monitor IM traffic. Which really isn't that hard. But I just don't want my conversations under someone else's eye that I don't know about. I'm not doing anything wrong, I just want my privacy when it comes to my IMs.
