It depends. If they have a Linux box somewhere in the I-net link then maybe. But if they're depending on Microsoft "group policy" or other software settings, then no. The PCs are definitely not protected. You pretty much need a watchdog firewall, etc to keep MS from doing the auto-updates. And I'm not sure, but I think MS can even circumvent local PC firewalls at will (i.e. software firewalls. That may be an "enhancement" in Windows 7. ;-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
