Our IT Department SUCKS!
I've been in the field this week at a new center. One of our customers used an infected thumb drive on a networked computer on Tuesday. I caught it. I cleaned that computer and asked the IT department to run virus scans on the computers at the center including the server.
They said they had.
I checked my email at the office. And now my email is infected.
I found out the virus detections hadn't been updated in 77 months. I'm in the process of updating the detections on my office computer (I'm not in the field today because we're moving offices and I'm packing up.). And I will run every available scan on my home computer tonight to make certain I don't propogate the damned thing.
I promise not to check my email in the field again. I can't trust our networks.
