Yeah. I talked it over with my boss (CFO) and he said "NO!" I checked and the user was unable to bypass that protection from Vipre, so no harm, no foul. I did agree to help him get his home computer connected wirelessly and once he does that, he can refuse to let his soon-to-be ex use his company laptop. The CFO agreed for pretty much the same reason you did. J

He's trying to install a keylogger on his company laptop so he can get access to her email (she uses his company-provided laptop at home) and prove she's been cheating. Obviously Vipre doesn't want to let him install it, but I overrode Vipre and told it to unquarantine it. My question is, did I do the right thing or should I make him uninstall it?
