    Our company is in the grips of an issue we wish we didn't have to deal
    with. Our VPs insist on using their own home PCs despite the fact that we
    give them corporate laptops.

    We want to prevent users from connecting to the corporate LAN if they
    don't have a personal firewall installed as well as an up to date virus
    scanner package.

    We use Cisco VPN 3000 concentrators with the 3.6x vpn client.
    We use Zone Labs Zone Alarm Pro 3.7
    We use McAfee virus scan 4.5.1 with latest super dats.

    Based on this info, is there a way we can prevent users from accessing the
    LAN if the virus software is not installed or up to date?

    We can prevent them from connecting if they don't have the firewall
    installed...its the virus stuff that has us stumped.

    Thanks for the help in advance.
