I'm sure this is from their legal department, but declaring a CD to be 
"virus free" does not mean it is indeed virus free.  Even if you know 
where the CD came from, it is good practice to either preview on a 
system not connected to your company intranet, or run a virus scan 
before accessing any data or programs on the disc.
