More office based employees checking out porn

It has been estimated that around twenty five per cent of all employees are visiting porn sites during the working day and by using their employer’s computer and internet connections.

To a lot of people, particularly the younger employees porn is no longer a big deal, this is because of the availability on the net of porn and the increasing amount of free prom sites that require no login or payments.

However, it can quickly become habit, with some employees being fired for spending hours a day on the internet looking at porn sites.

Because they are using the company connection to view porn, this can put the company at risk because these sites are often riddled with viruses, malware and spyware, which can really do the company harm.
