I agree, a lot of time at work is wasted doing things online that we shouldn't
be doing. Filters are a good idea and should be used, or at least considered,
by every company. However, as you've noticed, they aren't perfect and still
has some bugs. It can get annoying when something that you are supposed to be
able to view gets blocked. Hopefully something that works better will become
available.

It's amazing how much time is wasted at work on the Internet shopping, playing
games, etc. Many companies are cracking down on this by installing filtering
software such as Websense: http://www.websense.com/global/en/. This software
can be customized to block certain content and web sites. It can also track
where you have been on the Internet and how long you have been there. My
company uses this product; however, it's not perfect. Occasionally, some sites
will be blocked that are perfectly okay to view; such as hospital supply sites
that our buyers research products on. A quick email to the network
administrator and the site will be unblocked.
