The attitude of "why do I need to bring in someone smarter than I am if I *think* I know enough to deal with it myself", essentially the system/network administrators(if you can even call them that) over there felt there was no need to call in the experts, declared the virus harmless even though they had no idea what it was capable of and why it was there. This attitude is alive and well in the corporate world as well, except that we (most of the time) have more visibility into the network and less politics, allowing us to keep the "I *think* I know more than you" WoW gamer in HR in check.
