My boss is either a complete moron or just doesn't believe me..ok, so I know the answer to both..yes, complete moron and doesn't believe a word I say about technology or the network. I've been telling him over and over and over and over again that we have a virus on the network, all the computers are infected by the w32/pate virus..which once this virus has been executed and trust me it has on all network shares and every drive...it infects every PE and SCR file. Although just figured out where the little sucker is on my work computer, the main viral code is dropped to a randomly name TMP file in the Windows temp directory (no wonder my anti-virus software couldn't remove it). The file is 172KB in size. (the funny thing is I know that a good portion of us(employees), have anti-virus software at home so we aren't getting infected when we work from home but he probably has infected his home PC and the other boss, probably has too and if the laptop is infected and he's bringing it to customer's site for demos, then he could potentially be infecting customer's networks, etc (ok i know that not totally funny about the customer's networks only in a warped way)....like I said moron)
So today he told me about the new computers he bought, finally real computers(new Dells, P4 with 40GB HD) not pentium and pII clones and crappy used corrupted hard drives PCs with only 9GB harddrives and that I should use ghost for the new hard drives...can I scream now???
Why the hell would I want to infect 30 new computers with a virus right off the bat? And as for ghost, hmm, last I checked we don't have the program. Nor any other type of program such as Drive Image (well I have Drive Image but its my software, he wouldn't pay me for it, I'm not sharing). He doesn't want to buy anti-virus software, so I doubt he's going to want to buy Ghost. Either way, I'm refusing to use it if he does buy it..hmmm, maybe that will get me fired..
my boss is a moron..completely confirmed by today's stupid comments..and I refuse to stroke his ego any longer..
