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

I'm not a lawyer, I don't play one on TV, etc
However, I suspect that if
a) she discovers the invasion
b) and decides to pursue legally
then
c) you have exposed the company as a participant to the invasion of privacy
YMMV

One of my users is in the middle of a nasty divorce with his wife. 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?
