"Keep in mind that most employers keep track, so some degree, of sites you have visited."

That's why, if you are worried about detection, you do your surfing on other workstations that can't get tracked back to you. Or spoof someone else's ID so the data packets get tracked to someone else. We've had a couple instances of dumb employees getting busted because they don't realize the internet traffic stats include their PC workstation name, which just happens to contain their initials. Also helps to use software to do a wipe of your PC (re-write of all free space with zeroes after deleting files).

This raises a Windows 98SE question I have (for anyone). When I try to clear the free space on any computer, I get constant "Restart due to disk write" messages and can't complete clearing. Before starting, I close every process I can ( using the Close Program Dialogue Box ) except Explorer, clear out cookies and junk files, make sure the computer is offline, and disable the anti virus. I even try this in the Safe Mode, but it doesn't work. I use Norton Wipe info, but my neighbor just uses the Windows program and gets the same results. How can I get either disk clearing program to complete at least one pass?
