If your primary goal is to reduce or eliminate productivity loss caused by inappropriate or aimless surfing, or if you are trying to eliminate internet sexual harassment, or if you wish to prevent data loss, the answer is YES.

From our point of view, employees’ personal privacy should be respected. In most cases, you need to provide meaningful information as to why they have a monitoring policy and tell them to be careful of leaking their private information in using corporate computers.

However, there will be some exceptional cases. If you suspect some employees commit something illegal such as data stealing, sexual harassment and threat, and you are looking for proof to substantiate your suspicion, we do not think it is necessary to inform the employees.

•     The PC-Monitor  agent, a program to record and gather user operation data, is running in the process and does not contain a user interface that an employee may stumble upon. Thus, there are no Hotkeys by default, desktop icons or System tray icons that might indicate the presence of the PC-Monitor  agent.
•     The PC-Monitor  agent does not show up in the Windows task list, and cannot be uninstalled using the Windows Add/Remove function.
•     PC-Monitor  is designed to use very few system resources and does not slow down the desktop user. It is hard for user to sense PC-Monitor ’s existence.
•     The recording data reside on the managed desktop only for a short period of time before they are automatically and seamlessly uploaded to the PC-Monitor  Service Manager and Database.
•     PC-Monitor  provides an optional function for you to disable the System Restore feature in Microsoft Windows systems so as to prevent users from restoring their system back to state without PC-Monitor  installed.
•    The PC-Monitor  agent can run properly and record user operation though cables are unplugged or Microsoft Windows has a firewall that blocks a specific port. Once when the cable is plugged in and the blocked port is enabled, recorded data can be uploaded to PC-Monitor  server.

In most countries, laws favor employers.
