Default Logmein - question

Been using the excellent Logmein.com to access my home PC from work.
My query is, can the company IT peeps see what I've been looking at on my home PC? for example do the images get stored anywhere on the work PC?

(Been arranging a Stag do, then came to my senses about doing it at work )

Not sure they can actually see what you were doing during the logmein session.
They will however be able to tell that you have been going on to logmein.com.

Hello

The connection is via https, so the IT folks should see the traffic but not the content (unless they have installed some software on your PC to capture your screen(unlikely, but I work for a company that produces some software to do it!)).

There should be nothing stored on your work computer as the 'image' from your home PC is streamed and not stored.

Every packet that goes in/out of your computer can be captured at the network level (ie between you and the other party) in passing, logged, then sent on, then put back together to see what you were doing.

If you feel nervous, don't do things you may be worried about. Just depends whether they can be ar$ed to do it or not.

Feel lucky punk?
