Re: Anti virus software for ADSM

Well... you hit the nail on the head! Management does have it backwards.

I completely agree with ya! But remember this is management asking.

( If I say flat out no, I look like I'm un-cooperative, even though I know

probably be the answer. If I say I will look into it then it makes them feel
like they
are in control. They're like children.)


Thanks!
CR
