Well, I can tell you that the problem isn't confined to your desktop. And at times, it actually interrupts my work flow. (Ahhh, corporate regulations are wonderful, aren't they?)
From what I was told, the conversion to the current configuration of the proxy servers is to get everyone using the same connections. (Something that has to do with our affiliation with WorldCom I believe - But well, you can never tell.)
If that's the case, (and it's so hard to find out a real answer sometimes) then we've got everyone in each office on the east coast using the same gateways. Not exactly the most efficent thing in the world. (and this is just a layperson's opinion)
But your assumption of corporate spyware is very accurate. After this past summer's hubbub on the yahoo.biz message boards, and the lawsuits.com fiasco, you're never sure what they're watching or when. I personally err on the side of caution.
Heck, I have enough fun reading the internal boards lately.
