Even tough I am retired from it, thank goodness, I am doing my best not to do it again.
I see two possibilities:
#1 This is Bozzile with a new account
#2 This is an imposter pretending to be Boz
Getting a virus through a firewall is no hard trick. Just get an infected email from home, save it to a floppy, and open it up at work. You get so many infected emails, that if they are not deleted you have started a viri collection. I, myself, do not advocate releasing a virus onto a company network, and I find such a thing unethical. It also does not punish the boss or manager, it punished the IT staff that has to do the clean-up.
Edit: I changed the name to protect the innocent. :) Anyway I may have read the post wrong and it was the manager who caught the virus.
