Fire the IT guy. IF they weren't blocking these type of attachments (execs), blocking connections to various sites, or preventing the general staff to run as admin, they probably were having these problems (of some sort) long before now. Sounds like some type of data leakage protection would not have worked if they are screen caps. Sounds like he was somewhat crooked anyway, or he would have not let it go for 10 days

Misdirected spyware infects Ohio hospital

DG News Service - It was a bad idea from the start, but even as bad ideas go, this one went horribly wrong.

A 38-year-old Avon Lake, Ohio, man is set to plead guilty to federal charges after spyware he allegedly meant to install on the computer of a woman he'd had a relationship with ended up infecting computers at Akron Children's Hospital.

In late February 2008, Scott Graham shelled out $115 for a spyware program called SpyAgent and sent it to the woman, according to a plea agreement filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northeastern District of Ohio.

He allegedly sent the spyware to the woman's Yahoo e-mail address, hoping that it would give him a way to monitor what she was doing on her PC. But instead, she opened the spyware on a computer in the hospital's pediatric cardiac surgery department, creating a regulatory nightmare for the hospital.

In an of themselves, its not the social networking sites that are the problem. They are a conduit to the problem.
