A few years ago one of our staff members decided his salary isn't good enough so he started a side-line business, on our company time. He stole some of our client's data (contact details, emails, and even contracts) and sold it to 3rd parties. This went on for about 6 months before we actually realized what was going on. Needless to say, he was fined heavily and sent to jail for 3 years. So, I don't care if you feel the PC is your's, as long as it's a company PC, with company data and company property, we will take a look at the data on it. I'm not talking about your home / private PC, that's an altogether different story. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
