Hey, what a cheesy thing they did to my computer last week!

I went to my brother's office, and needed to print something from my laptop. I'm not supposed to know the passwords and stuff like that, so my brother's secretary asked for help to the IT department to come and configure my computer to be able to use the network's printer.

This is something I've personally done in the past in five minutes in my previous workplace. First came one guy, and couldn't do it. Then he called for help, and between the two of those guys couldn't do it even though they took more than two hours. Then they took away my computer cause they needed the help of yet somebody else... and about five hours later they finally gave me back my computer.

Three guys from the IT department joining forces for five hours! What a shame! I wasn't able to do much that day, since they had my computer for most of the day.

But what is worse is what I discovered today... They had disconnected my firewall and didn't tell me anything about it. Then this morning when my anti-virus runs, it detects 17 files infected by a worm!
