Installing“big brother” software will only reduce overall moral. And this is something we try to instill in our clients as a huge taboo!

I hope this helps


While this may be true for a small company, it can become a problem with larger ones. Get enough people surfing, yet still getting their work done and it hurts bandwidth. Even if it something like streaming pandora to listen to music at work, a lot of people doing that can slow things down, thereby making the Internet slow for other users at the business trying to do productive work.

Shouldn't be an issue in this case, with only a handful of machines, but as much as I'm not a fan of big brother software, I can see a need for it at times.
