An employee suggested to me that we disconnect Spam Zombies on a few employees machines here as an evaluation. I was skeptical at first but he explained the benefits of disconnecting it for our employee's day-to-day protection. So I decided to let him disconnect the Spam Zombies (SZs) onto 5 employees computers to see how they got on. Besides, our IT manager had had his disconnect for a while and it seemed to work fine, why not try it on the peddling masses?
Once he'd got the employees disconnected we let the employees try it out. It all seemed fine to start with: network speed was a pretty good and the employees could still do their work as normal.
Alas it did not stay that way. After a few days, I had lost count of the number of complaints received from users who could not find things they were used to or tasks they could not perform that they previously could with the Spam Zombies running. The final straw came when one employee lost several hours work when the Spam Zombie suddenly stopped his daily delivery of penis pills.
Needless to say, the Spam Zombie team offered plenty support whatsoever. I made the employee restart all the Spam Zombies and lets just say he's not with us anymore.
