Now, I’m not saying this guy should be surfing porn at work on his employer’s system - that right there would be sufficient cause for at least a strong warning, if not immediate termination, in most places I’ve worked - but why are these systems so easily compromised by the actions of a mere user? Why is he using these systems (presumably Windows based) with the elevated privileges that make virus infiltration so much easier? Why is there not decent anti-virus software running? And they should be running Windows Vista or 7, whose User Access Control facilities greatly reduce the possibility for ordinary users or internet browser security holes to do damage to the systems.

Only perverts use Windows.
Real men prefer Linux.
