I am of the opinion that company PC is company PC and it has a right to monitor what is going on there.
But I also think employers should be responsible to ensure employees are notified of the scope of possible monitoring. Some people are absolutely clueless.
It is not that difficult, really. My company says whatever I do is subject to monitoring and there is no expectation of privacy. It also says, "Please, don't use it for anything that is not related to work".
We live in times when you can have a PC in your pocket, there is absolutely no need to do private business on company PC.
