We are behind a firewall, but want to get VNC to allow consultants we
trust to have remote access to our computers (and vice versa).  Past
posts to this list convinced me that opening a port in the firewall for
specific users is a secure activity, but our IT guys are now saying that
it doesn't necessarily protect our systems from worms or viruses that
may already inhabit the trusted user's computers.

Does anyone have a response to this?  It seems logical.  Would we want
to require that any remote user that traverses our firewall via VNC have
an acceptable virus scan before doing so?  Are there particular VNC
products that would be best for both us and our clients?  Can our
clients use the free version?
