Default FIRED! The only one of two people?

I was let go..."FIRED"from my job of 25 months on 9/22.The reason for my discharge was:"Employee downloaded&installed unauthorized software and/or programs to company systems."The small business I worked for only had a very informal computer policy and allowed everyone to check email, download music, social networking, stock trading, you name it, these people are/were doing it.I showed up last Monday and was presented with a written"Computer&Vehicle Policy"that I had to sign that said I wouldn't download any malicious software, spam up email boxes, the usual stuff. I gladly signed it, took a copy and gave it to the office manager.I was told that my computer"may look different"and"if you have trouble with any of your programs or can find things and need help just ask because we installed special filters on all of the computers this past weekend."I was like, okay, no problem. The purchasing person and the office manager had both viruses on their computers for the past week so I figured they were debugging them. I had no idea that they had deleted all of my music, all of my pictures, all of the contents of my documents folder, all of the programs that were permitted before...just gone. I was quite surprised when I turned on my computer and found all of that to be gone...oh, they also installed a key logger on my computer so they could monitor everything I do...the one person who doesn't use myspace or scottrade or whatever any of those other sites are that douche bag slackers use to waste time at work.From August of 2006 when I started at the company I was using Microsoft (safety guaranteed) Messenger to communicate only with the people in my office, and so was everyone else. This is not the first time that the program has been deleted by the computer tech after a sweep so i went to my documents file found the install and reinstalled the file. I texted my coworker (call her sally, purchasing person) and told her that I put the install file in her folder on the network and in seconds she and I were connected again. We had a brief, yet very harsh disrespectful (toward the boss) something about d*ck sucking (so embarrassed, but I was mad and thats so not like me! All my stuff was deleted!) Oh and I did say, well, I better get this payroll done before I get the axe...guess I was right.I got the axe, fired. That day and was presented with the computer log and the conversation that we had. I WAS THE ONLY ONE FIRED!The next day (sally is also my out of work friend, which makes this uber lame) she tells me that she gets written up only because the office manager we will call her The Ice Queen said their attorney advised them to do so.I am now being told that they are trying to say that the virus outbreak came from my computer when mine was never sick.Oh the previous Friday The Ice Queen (office manager) presented me with a write up for being 15 minutes late after working until 8pm the night before on special reports for the Vice President. I refused to sign it. Now, dont you think something smells fishy?Im in Florida, is it even legal to only fire one person? I know they are going to fight the unemployment, Im going to fight back?Please advise.Thank you to anyone who reads this!Much Love! ------
