As for the swing, I would say it is justifiable

Yeah - but you think keystroke recorders for employers are justifiable too simply because they can.... When it comes to your right to know, for you, there doesn't seem to be much of a limit.

I wouldn't trust you, and you don't know what trust is.

Depends on the situation. Employees with sensitive areas are subject to scrutiny. If we get hit by a virus from an unauthorized download or disk, I want to be able to know we can find the cause even when the employee does not want to own up.

BTW cheating on your husband and wife is a different issue than whether or not an employer is allowed to use a logger. It is real simple, employees should not use company computers for checking their email. Get a blackberry or web enabled phone.

You would not trust me? Touched a nerve have we? In the old Novel networks the administrators could watch click for click what employees are doing, most still can. 9 to 5 what an employee does on company computers is up to the company. Their personal endevors can be done on their personal computers.

In other words, when having an extramarital affair online, do it at home not at work.
