1) A memory stick could be easier.... 2) A wireless network that only connects to the internet and 1 Wifi PC card to put in the notebook... 3) Why is that a problem at all? If all your computers and servers update daily (or in my case hourly). If the notebook tries to infect the other computers or servers the scanners will detect this....

When a laptop has been out and about for a few weeks, and comes back into the office we won't let it on the network until it has had its virus defs updated and had a full virus scan. But it can only get on the internet via the netowrk, so how to get it up-to-date virus defs? What we do is download them (Symantec, using Intelligent Updater), put them on a CD, and update the laptop from that. Is this the normal/only/best/c**p way to do this? -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
