I retired a few years ago but the policy was never as strict as some of your replies. I worked in a large company in Silicon Valley for about 10 years and nobody was ever penalized for using the internet.
I actually think our IT department enjoyed it when a computer got infected. That let them get new virus info. Our computer network (a few hundred or more PCs) was constantly updated with McAfee Virus protection nearly daily. I don't know of anyone in our company with a computer that was down for more than a few hours.
