    In work they track all the websites visited by the user so the Admin can look at what you've been looking at and for how long etc, i'm sure a lot of you are familiar with this, but does anybody know a way around this

    Depends how they're doing it.

    Chances are that the admin's using the proxy server log from your web proxy to check access.

    If your company's not blocked off direct outward access then its simply a matter of disabling proxy usage in your browser.

    Of course, you wouldn't be looking up anything you wouldn't want the admin to see now would you?!?

    You can never tell how long someone spent looking at a site, only extrapolate a rough approximation based on number of connections and time spent receiving those connections.
    For example here in work I run sarge as a reporting tool for squid, I may spend 2 hours reading pages on boards.ie but that still may appear below a chinese or japanese site which may have longer response times

    But anyway.. don't go using sites like anonymizer etc. if this is in work. I mean I'd prefer to have a football or music site listed then somebody deliberately trying to hide their browsing habits (which is a bit dodgy).

    But yeah, surf at home, or limit your access to lunch hours.
