[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to a colleague, my workplace installed 'snooping' software recently on all our laptops. If I'm not connected to the work VPN will they still be able to track usage (assuming I use an anonymous browser)?[/quote]

They can see and hear everything.

It would be malpractice to let you use a computer for work that they cannot monitor. [/quote]

Hear?[/quote]

If work laptop has a microphone inside, as most do, the employer could turn the microphone on.  [/quote]

Yup. Your work computer is owned by your employer. They can access their device anytime they want. And this is how it should be.

When you take your work laptop home, connect to your guest network not your home network. [/quote]

:roll: Who's "they"? You people really think your lazy ass boss is ordering some IT dweeb to zero in on your laptop and fire up a live audio stream or send him some keystroke report? You realize how batshit insane crazy that sounds? No manager or executive is risking their career to cyber-stalk some peon staffer.[/quote]
