That's a bit harsh. All it takes is for an employee to take their laptop home, connect it to the net, get the virus and then bring the virus in-house.

Mr. FourPeas is in IT security for a Fortune 500 company. Hubby is now trying to cleanse a network at a remote location where no one seems to take it seriously. He actually is having to run a script to shut down various computers every ten minutes because the yahoos at the remote keep turning them back on even through they're known to be infected.

I will grant you that, fine. But still it should be someone's responsibility to ensure that those laptops are kept up to date with the latest Microsoft patches. This is not the first time something like this has happened. Seems to me these people are making pretty good money in this economy, they need to start being responsible for keeping their laptops up to date, or there needs to be someone on their case making sure it gets done. This costs companies way too much money to take lightly.
