Its rather crazy but my work is somewhat related to what you want me to contact. Its out of the question unfortunately and so is any sort of police unless I want to make things worse for myself. This whole thing has been extremely suspicious from the get go because I know this trojan or what it is exists on my work laptop too, but Ive been told to not worry about it and that the security department has everything under control, that Sophos hasnt registered anything strange etc.For the most part I concur with David @KGIII above.

So i dont care or worry about it on my work laptop, but when it has infilitrated and invaded my own privacy, I can not do anything but worry. I did not want to go on sick leave to sort this so i took a 2 week vacation, and this is my final week.
