Answer 1

Terminating an employee because of using unauthorized software in the workplace is a serious offense.First, the employee was already informed about the policy of not to bring his own unauthorized software, in this case the employee is terminated right away because he/she knows already the dangers of using unauthorized software like viruses, bots, worms and other malicious programs.
