I run the network for my company, if you're running it over the corporate network it is VERY easily detectable, and you'd eventually get found out.
The other thing to watch out for is if the PC support people run anything that watches for installed programs/running processes. Obviously running it off a flash drive isn't going to show up in your installed programs, but the last company I worked for actually monitored your running processes as well.
I guess it depends on your situation. I could get away with it all day here, partially because of what my job is here (it would be either me or someone who works for me having to bust me), and partially because I know exactly how we're setup.
In the end it's the kind of thing they will fire you on the spot for though, up to you if your job is even worth a small risk.
