I have eliminated most of my desktop problems by installing Centurion guards or driveshield on all lab machines. Next year I will also be installing them on my staff machines. I do know they also have one that works with the mac. If you use their software version it is easy to manage and disable and reboot from a control computer.
The only virus software I have in my district is on my Esafe gateway machine and then enough licenses of a different vendor to protect my servers and of coursethe most important computer on my network --- the one that writes my check!!!! BTW: I purchased 30 computers this year and I bought them without floppies. I have enough floppies laying around if I need one. I just keep one machine in each lab with a working floppy. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Steven Scarbrough" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 11:25:22 -0500 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >>scan email and http >George makes a good point - one can block many, if not all of these at the >firewall.
