When the person telling you Mac's don't get virii and he is the one holding the purse strings I don't argue a whole lot. We have to keep a person on staff just to get his documents/presentations/worksheets converted to something the Windows users can work with. I dislike the situation but I do what I can. All the Windows systems he can talk to have AV the rest he can't talk to period. I am working on killing the last open share in the network which will cause a big enough fight with him to argue about his machine having AV or not just is not in the cards.
