Maybe I am grabbing the donkey by the tail here, but are you suggesting that 
the ISA-aware AV products should not be installed on the firewall to protect 
the network or just to protect the firewall itself?

Hi John,
 
Excellent point. Maybe I should rethink my approach to AV on the firewall. I 
figure that if no one has write access to the firewall from a network location, 
and I don't run any client software on the firewall, that I should be fairly 
safe. Can you think of a scenario that would allow a virus onto the box given 
those parameters?
 
(excluding the possibility that someone brings a virus infected CD, floppy or 
USB "drive" to the firewall)
 
Thanks!
Tom
