Felix, that's bad advice IMHO.
Our users will click anything that even remotely looks like an icon, and
then when is doesn't 'run' or 'open' (ie: because it is a
virus/trojan/worm) they are even ignorant enough to call desktop support
for help.
Without antivirus protection on the workstations our desktop support
people would be running around all day removing viruses.
Without antivirus on our inbound email server, we'd have allowed
literally hundreds of email messages with the sircam virus into our
network in just the last few weeks alone.
Believe me, I KNOW it is a losing battle. But it is one that IMHO, we as
admins simply HAVE to fight to keep our unknowing users just a little
bit safer, and our desktop support people a little more productive.
Every virus stopped at the gateway is a possible desktop support call
averted.
