Question about internet privacy at work

nah, don't worry.

if you're logged in through Citrix, they can track everything.  If you're not logged in but using a company computer, they can track everything (they may have installed tracking software on their computer, they're allowed to do that).  They wouldn't be able to track what you do on your personal computer if you're not logged into Citrix.

I think what Backslash said seemed correct. They can trace you on your Work Computer. They can trace you when you're logged into Citrix on you home computer. I don't think they're able to (legally) trace you on your home computer when you are NOT logged into citrix.  I wouldn't worry about what you clicked "Yes" to, you sound a little paranoid. Plus I would think there'd be a legality issue with doing that to someone's home computer & monitoring them & their families net usage. Sounds like an invasion of privacy.

Yea tracking software on your home computer would probably be highly illegal. 

Absolutely they have access to everything you look at and mail at work though and anything you do while logged onto Citrix.

BTW, just logging out of a website doesn't remove the tracks from your computer.  It is still there in the cache and temp.  As a rule you should really clean this stuff out periodically, it slows your computer down.

Shit, I posted in that thread WHILE I WAS AT WORK     Over time, you realize someone's not out there being paid to watch & read what all the employees are doing & typing online..

Ask Jim, apparently he's been reading my pm's and knows all about the pringles.   

If it makes you feel better, you can use a diiferent web browser on your home computer for the personal stuff. This way you can be sure that there aren't any cookies left over from when you were logged into the company server, that can continue to track you... which IS possible (but highly unlikely and unethical)

Example; Only use Netscape for logging into the company server on your home computer. Only use Internet Explorer for all personal web browsing on your home computer.
