Yep, a firewall only protects your front door, nothing else. How they
can make a claim that it will keep all workstations virus-free is beyond
me...
As long as you have CD/DVD drives, floppy drives, accessible USB ports,
etc... you are susceptible to infestation from avenues other than your
Internet connection, which is the ONLY thing the firewall is guarding.

Case in point:
Bob brings in his "really cool game" that he got from his cousin Tom in
his e-mail called elfbowling.exe. He pops the cd-r he made into the
system and runs the program. Five minutes later all the systems except
that server are infected by a worm/virus running through the system.
You can get virus/worms from other places than the
internet/e-mail/external systems. Anyone with laptops in their
environment can vouch for this issue.

I have a client that is seriously thinking of using Nitix as their
firewall. Does anyone know the good, the bad, and the ugly with Nitix?
Basically they are looking at:
Net Integrator Micro II Server with Nitix SB &5 Users Two-year hardware
warranty extension (3 years total) Two-year extended Nitix Software
Assurance (3 years total) Three-year AntiSpam Subscription Three-year
Nitix Antivirus Subscription
$1767 CAD
They claim to be able to keep client machines on the network virus free?
I really didn't think you could do this with a firewall. (call me dumb)
