Sorry.
I hope she doesn't lose her job over your report. |
Me, too. I talked to them as some length around noon Tuesday, assuring them that this was not something that she did or failed to do. But that was before I started wondering about its being a used machine. p2p apps don't install and open themselves, do they?
What is frightening is the number of other personal computers that are wide open. Where hers was evidently not a matter of her not setting the program up properly (if she did, indeed, not even know that it was there), the others that I found were doing file swapping and simply were not set up safely.
