I have seen people in the past post that they follow that methodology. Personally, I find it foolish at best.
A quick scan of the update logs for our client side AV solution shows that there are always out of date clients - generally probably on the order of 5-10%. Considering over half our workforce has laptops, that doesn't surprise me. I do find it surprising to think that people wouldn't feel uncomfortable at best relying on something as distributed as client side AV protection, when a relatively small number of boxes can be more easily managed, and more easily forced to be current. Not to say I don't run client side, but email AV belongs at the server leve. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
