We are referring to AV program to protect the computer itself, not any AV
program used by ISA as part of its processes.

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
