Today, I'm in my third week at a new job. Using an online service our company recommends, I accidentally downloaded a virus that is now working its way through our website, randomly sending our customers Viagra ads via our email. I personally had to tell the founder of the company. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, discovered that all the viruses I have gotten on my computer at work haven't been from anything I've done, but because my boss has secretly been using it after hours to download or watch porn so he wouldn't risk getting a virus on his own computer. I've lost 3 major projects due to this. FML
Today, I accidentally downloaded a virus, which hijacked my email program. I somehow doubt the Dean at my university will thank me for my suggestion that he too could experience 100% natural male enhancement pills. FML
Today, I got two viruses on my laptop. One was a fake anti-spyware program that cluttered the screen with pop-ups. The other opened the browser repeatedly, each time to a generic porn site. This all conveniently happened at work, on a projector and during a meeting. FML
Today, I managed to infect a clean computer with a virus while looking up info on how to rid my other computer of the same virus. FML
Today, I realized that my virus protection program now has a virus. FML
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, my email got hacked and sent all my contacts something for Viagra. My husband thinks I really sent it to him on purpose and now won't even talk to me. FML
Today, our company got hacked. Our secretary fell for someone badly impersonating the head of customer service and sent them a full list of employee information from one of our new clients. The boss wants to blame us in IT for not training her on how to avoid this. He fell for a phishing attack last week. FML
Today, my boss was using my computer and tried to copy and paste a website URL. It must not have copied first, because it pasted a URL to a porn site. I think I should start looking for a new job. FML
Today, I found an ad for my job at my company on an online job board. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't be afraid to admit mistakes, your boss willbe more likely to forgive you when you are actively taking responsibility. Trust me, he will like you for it, unless he is an ass but you can always make another FML :)

...does the company not have real-time antivirus?

This will be funny perhaps a year from now

Antivirus can never afford complete protection because of the nature of vulnerabilities, and even the best firewalls (which go up exponentially in price with respect to quality) can not block everything malicious for the same reason. Unfortunately many companies lack the funds, the foresight, or the knowledge to go with the best or even mediocre protection. I am sorry, OP. It sounds like you did nothing wrong. I hope your higher-ups realize that it was their mistake and not yours.

How did you manage to download it accidentally? Opening a file you don't trust is never a good idea...

Why? I do it all the time. A file is just information. It can't harm you unless you let it (or are running Windows).
