said by JTRockville : That happens with traditional commuters too. You don't have to be a telecommuter to bring your laptop home, get an infection, and bring it to the office the next day.
My company has a policy of not allowing any home PCs to connect to the corporate network via VPN. If you have a corporate laptop loaded with AV programs, and a few other items, then and only then are you allowed to access the VPN, and then only from the laptop's enclosed dial-up software. I could not, per policy, plug the laptop into my network's router and use my DSL line... -- That which does not kill me merely prolongs the agony. |

| Our policy requires you install company provided AV, firewall before you can even launch the VPN software client installer.
From there, you can access with your home PC or laptop if you like...as I do since I don't have a company provided laptop.
