There are extremely few known viruses that affect any BSD
systems.  Occasionally, issues are found with other software,
such as the Apache Web Server, or Sendmail, or ??.  Also,
occasionally, actual real people attempt illegal
access of such systems.  They should be called "crackers,"
although some people still use the antithetical term that
starts with a "h" instead of a "cr".

Since you are in the government, I'd simply suggest
hunting these people down and killing them.  ;-)

#man kill

Remember that PID 1 is you :-)

If you are talking about using FreeBSD to protect
users of that other "Operating System" from Redmond,
here's a good article:

Perhaps a bit dated, but should get you going in the
right direction.
