ukbobboy01, please, consider whom you put at risk by claiming such stuff out of the blue.
Anonymous dirt throwing is one of the most disgusting things on the internet. Maybe you better
question the admin and the security model of that business before blaming all
fault on a moron or even accusing him of a criminal deed. You know,
when I glimpse at this and other forums, I get the idea that most people
are extreme morons when it comes to computers and their handling. Oh and even
many admins are. There are really few exceptions.

There's a wise saying:
"Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity"

I'd say everything else should and shall be kept intern to that concerned business.

You are right, it could be just stupidity rather than malice but I feel that ChuckRock should be aware that using P2P apps to steal company info is widespread. After all, this person, by installing LW on his work's PC, not only put his own job at risk but everyone else's that works for this company.

However, that said, it is for the company bosses to decide how they are going to deal with this individual.

I personally believe that using LW is fun, it can be educational and, in most cases, it can be like travelling the world, i.e. it broadens the mind. But using LW on a work computer is dangerous, both for the company and the individual, and people should realise this. Because if they don't then maybe they should not be working with computers.
