Using WIFI connection at work...?

Question

So at my job im not aloud to use company computers to do personal things, like facebook. Understandable. However they didnt say i couldnt use my own computer at work. hehe. So i started bringing my laptop to work and getting on FB on my lunch and breaks using the Wifi connection they have there. But i know with the company computers, they can see what sites youve visited and stuff. Can they see what sites ive visited from my personal laptop, cuz i was using THEIR wifi? 

Like lets say im at work alone one night and wanted to check out some Playboy or somethin on my laptop. Can they come in the next morning and see that i was on those sites?

Lets say i visit some site that i could potentionally download a virus or somethin. Could that virus get into THEIR system too, cuz i was using their Wifi?

Anytime you are using a WiFi connection, anyone using it too can see what you are doing. Its very very easy to do. The way I see it, you should remain trouble free looking at porn over WiFi. Its going to be difficult to track which laptop is doing it and no one cares enough to find out. It has to be a kick *** virus to travel over WiFi, so I wouldn't worry about that either.

Meh, Internets · Answer

Your company likely routes all web traffic through a proxy, which would be capable of logging all the sites you go to.

If you downloaded a worm onto the company network, then  yes, that could spread throughout the network and make your IT guys very angry.
