"The virus is not here anymore," Ryan said. "We've upgraded our antivirus software. We're going to try to tighten the belt, and have experts come in, but as all computer experts say, there is no foolproof way to lock your system down."

...While not foolproof, upgrading  to Linux would go a long way to resolve their virus issues.  I doubt they're up to using it though. I'd prefer they keep using windows so they can spend more time worring about viruses than violating our rights.

Since the “virus” is written to be platform independent, it COULD infect a Linux or Mac computer, but since you need SUDO or the admin password to perform installations on those respective platforms, the incidence is very low if non-existent.

This is a police department. I’ve yet to consult or work for a government agency that uses anything but Windows.
