Personally, I am not going to trust a user's home computer to be any more secure than one of my OPAC workstations. I actually expect a home computer to be less secure, because I might have internet filtering in place to protect my OPAC workstations from the more malicious sites. Or I may have a dedicated IT staff to keep the workstations clean of such problems. A home computer isn't likely to have either.
