Alright I’ll cut to the chase.
Our Norton Corporate box has a corrupt server group for the past 2 weeks. Virus def’s haven’t been updated since Dec. 8th. Monday night we got hit with a few different worms, rendering Tuesday a nightmare.
I’m moving from IT to ENG and lent a hand all day removing the threat from various endpoints.
Thats when the fit hits the shan.
A corporate wide email is sent out by our CEO demanding that everyone remove iTunes from their pc’s. I am called into my Bosses office and grilled about my use of iTunes. There is no real policy on program approval. I used iTunes daily since my employment began, and have shared out my library. I am now being accused of running a “rouge p2p server on the corporate network, which has propagated viruses to all local users”.
This statement was made by our IT MANAGER to our CEO.
I’m looking for help on finding documentation proving that the network impact of shared itunes library is negligible, and that propagating viruses through the itunes share feature is rather silly.
The IT department is grasping at straws and throwing me under the bus to use as a scapegoat. The real problem is the corporate Anti-virus server and why it was allowed function improperly for over a month. Any help you guys could provide me would be greatly appreciated.
