Company policies can be changed[*]. depends on the company. But i assumed attempt to point out nonsense of such policy were already done. > [*] It's important that the workers believe this. It helps keep them in > line. true and proven. but my point was that if policy is just nonsense (requirement of virus protection in spite of using virus-incapable OS) and still enforced in spite of this then.... No matter if it is 5 users of 80 users (largest i have to control in one place) then the policy should be "think what you are doing", and "do your work at work, not your toys". Believe me that having 2-3 virus problems per year, with no spreading, WITH WINDOWS USERS, and windows workstations running few years without touching is possible. It's simple, but off topic to explain in details. PS make in every shared (used by many people) samba share a directory "Autorun.inf", owned by root with access rights of 700.
