Rob,
It seems to me that what you need is clear security policies. Users
should not be allow to install their on software and to remotelly
control their workstations from home. I think that this is the main
problem. To improve desktop control, and security you should use local
policies. Applying local policy, since these pc are not belonging to a
domain, can be a real pain in behind. If you are looking for a personal
firewall try the free version of zone alarm.
Where in the world are you ? Holland? We stopped in the Amsterdam
airport for few hours on our way to Italy.
