It's possible that <A HREF="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2308369,00.asp">someone has been reading your emails,</A> listening to your phone calls, and tracking your Internet use. No, it's not a foreign spy. It's not even your ex--it's your employer. And she doesn't even need to tell you she's doing it.

Employers can legally monitor their workers however they want. They can log and review all computer activity as long as they own the machines. The most popular method of keeping tabs on employees is to track Internet use: A whopping 66 percent of companies monitor employee Internet activity, according to a survey released in February by the American Management Association and the ePolicy Institute.

What are they looking for? Frequent visits to sexually explicit sites, game sites, and social-networking sites like Facebook on company time. Almost a third of those who said they monitor their employees have fired someone for inappropriate Web surfing.
