Most computer at work usually has monitoring software. It’s not only monitoring you surf internet…it also help network engineer to install software update, apply new patch and scan the virus. When the scan software do the job, usually you can see from your CPU spike a bit. You can watch that under window task manager > performance tab.

Monitoring softwares are very common for networking. A famous one is Radmin, it can monitor as well as intercept another computer. You can check it’s existence (or the existence of any other unusual software) by using ProceXP. This freeware is quite handy to show you all of the running process. I also think that remote desktop can reveal the activity or your computer even though it’s intervention won’t go unnoticed by the user.

you can look in the control panel(try classic view), there should be something that will say monitoring, or if not, check the system start-up. You can also look at the log of the computer and see if any software is running that might be monitoring your computer. Also, your computer might be monitored through the network, so the system monitors the data as you pull it up from the internet…it all depends..

Run the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and look at the running processes. You may see something that would indicate monitoring software, but if not I would probably make a list and then google the ones you don’t recognize.
You should find out that way. Good luck!
Ps. This may not help if they are running proxy side monitoring and recording the site history.
