According to Sophos, the negative impact on company productivity caused by the games has meant that many organisations have shown significant interest in wanting to control their installation and use on company computers.
A recent Sophos poll survey of more than 450 system administrators reflected the security and efficiency concerns surrounding the use of computer games – 90.4% of respondents wanted the ability to block games, with 62% indicating this was essential. Even some games developers have recognised the impact their creations can have on productivity in the workplace.
The Windows games currently blocked by Sophos Application Control are: Solitaire, Hearts, Spider Solitaire; FreeCell; MineSweeper and 3D Pinball. Online games from the MSN Gaming Zone are also blocked.
