A computer based forensics company claims that porn is pervasive on work computer systems.

Sharon Nelson, president of Sensei Enterprises, a Virginia-based computer forensics company said that 26 percent of companies surveyed in the first half of 2009 have fired employees for violating e-mail policies. More than 26 percent have sacked employees for violation of Internet policies.

More than 60 percent of companies surveyed in 2007 were monitoring Internet connections and 65 percent were using software to block Web sites.
