You think it's OK for non-company employees use company equipment? Perhaps you haven't considered the possibility of being called in front of a jury to explain why what you didn't isn't facilitation of a felony - wiretapping or some Federal hacking charge or other. The aggrieved party would be the wife, and she might want to press a civil claim as well. This is a bit unlikely, but not completely out of the realm of possibility. Zealous prosecutors do exist. Better talk with your company lawyer on this one. Kurt ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
