[THIN] Re: Does anyone run virus scanner on XPe thin client?

Not necessarily, there are Network viruses out there...all XPe clients I know 
of need to store the IE cache someplace even if it does get wiped out on reboot 
the chance that a person could hit a page with a virus on that got stored and 
could hop onto your network does indeed exist.

I?m running 6 XPe Wyse units and haven?t worried about viruses on them.  

 

You could always lock down the image? take away MS network client and just 
leave TCP/IP and then use that as a base image.  The other thing to keep in 
mind is that as the units reboot (at least the Wyse work this way) they don?t 
keep any of the changes.. so the machine would have to be re-infected again 
upon boot for it to be a problem.

Does anyone think it is necessary to run a virus scanner on a XPe thin client? 
Does anyone who has XPe run a virus scanner?

 

Thanks for the info!
