    A good first measure, especially if you are the guilty party, is to sign your boss up for lots of porn mailing lists.

    Then, he/she will know it's perfectly normal to get up to 10 penis enlargement spams a day, and it has nothing to do with the way you surf the internet.

    It's a joke, laugh.

    We monitor ALL traffic entering and exiting our network.

    We don't hassle people about porno spam or the occasional mis-navigation to www..com. It's pretty obvious when someone is really surfing porn or doing anything else inappropriate.
