Where I work, they have this program running in the background, which I'm getting paranoid about. It is apparantly part of McAfee Antivirus, but is a seperate program in itself. When I open it, it has tons of ''Scripts'' and ''Policies'' it is envoking on my system. For the IT specialists out there, have you heard of this? Is it a way for my company to monitor my computer or internet usage? I need to know because I do browse the internet from time to time, and I don't want to get in trouble with my job. Thanks.
What is ''ePolicy Orchestrator Agent Monitor''?antivirus
We use this at work (I'm in the IT dept.)
Basically it runs as a seperate program to ensure that ll of the other programs are running and are updated when necesary.
Your IT Dept. will be running an EPO server, where they can get reports of updates, which computers are running what I.E. anti-virus, anti-spyware etc, and computers that have turned up on the network without EPO agent.
If you try and remove this your computer will turn up in the uninstalled agents/rogue systems list and they'll just come over and install it again, unless you have a slack IT Dept.

We don't bother looking at individual sites visited, way too many to screen. EPO doesn't provide this service BTW.
We do however get proxy reports that indicate how much data a particular PC has downloaded, we will generally check the PC's with high data usage for music and video's remotely.
