> If my employees are doing their job and not causing me liability issues,

A poor "cover your arse" statement that simply won't hold up in the event of
a security breach - unless you're the top dog in the show, of course.  "Uh
boss, yes I knew about the security problems with ICQ, but I really didn't
see a problem allowing the users to use it on the corporate LAN..." .

Exactly at what point will you judge that your employees, by goofing off on
your corporate LAN, are causing you "liability issues"?

Ok, let's put you on the spot.  I assume from your statement then, seeing
this discussion IS about ICQ, do you or don't you view the use of ICQ by
your employees as a security issue on your network?

Then again, if you have nothing on your network to secure... :-)
