[Gloucs] Anti-virus and spyware checking for windows clients?

[Dave Elliott (hbb)]

Russ,
   My 2d
Sorry this will sound like a bit FUD (fear, uncertainity and doubt) ... 
which it it probably is .... but/ unless/ you can control every other 
means of direct transfer ...CDs, floppies, USB sticks, MP3 players, 
phones etc, then no matter how good any filtering system is, the back 
door is still wide open.

I leave the those wiser than me to comment on the effectiveness of front 
door locks in your server.

Cheers
Dave
