At work? Oh. I only ever use Real Computers at work - the games machine is at home.

I note that the only logging functionality my black-box router has is to automatically log all URLs that have been visited by machines on its network. There's probably a market for a obfuscating IE plug-in, simply encrypt the query and send it off to a remote proxy. Charge a few quid a month for proxy access.
