True, and I shouldn't have recommended Norton Enterprise without the use of
some other filtering software to hold back the yucky vbs, sh, ... files, but
even then our organisation (and how many others?) deals with corporations
from all over the world who do various bits of work for us - art,
programming, web site design...I guess corporate policy and training is the
best solution but a combo of good anti-virus software and good filtering
software (perhaps something to alert sysadmin with it the script attached so
it can be verified and either permanently banned or passed through?) would
do most people fairly well...
