Ok. I've sent him a link to a wireless network card for his PC from NewEgg. I'll advise him that, for legal reasons, he needs to get someone else to install it and hook up the network to it.

Especially not the way they want to be helped. This is one of those times. You need to be as far from this train wreck as is humanly possible, unless you have a desire to be a co-defendant in a subsequent lawsuit. Seriously. This is one of the few times that every single person in an NTSYSADMIN thread has essentially given the same advice. You would do well to heed it. Any assistance you feel compelled to provide to him should be done verbally, and should consist primarily of, "Here is a person that you can speak to who might be able to help you..." If that. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 2:46 PM, John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: Hmm. $350/hour.that's about 10x what I charge for PC work.

I'll check with management and see what they want to do.

For one, that is a company supplied laptop. She has no business using, period! Two, instead of a keylogger why didn't you just look at the IE Cache folder? Anything she was accessing would be there, graphics, too. You could have copied this off to a CD for future reference. As long as she doesn't do any 'house cleaning' on the laptop, all the info is still there on the laptop hard drive.

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?
