Re: Cybernanny ethics...

Are you talking just about software installed on a machine for monitoring or all network monitoring in general?  

Ethically, I think that a company can do what they want to protect their environment.  However, it does cross the line 
if they are monitoring your every keystroke without probable cause.  

Most companies that I have come across are not monitoring at the PC level, but the network level.  They will go to the 
PC level if there is a reason to.

Remember, the company owns everything (network, computer, etc...) and you have no right to expect privacy at work (in 
the US).  That does diverge from what I think your question was though...which is just about the software.
