The Windows desktops don't run their own AV because every AV I've tried always has some bloated resident component that drags down the system. None of the boxes have the horsepower for a VM so that's out. Central file server isn't here yet, I'm working on it slowly as funds permit (this requires a new machine plus disks). Until then it's just mount and scan remotely. The central scanning machine isn't a file server right now, it's just a (old) tinker box.<div class="im">

Better process is to have a scanner on each desktop but ALL files are<br>
stored on central server. That makes each desktop a readily replaceable<br>
thing and centralizes the AV scan on the bulk of the files. Part 2 is run<br>
that fileserver as a samba server and use squid proxy and ClamAV to scan<br>
all data entering via WAN as well as email. That narrows your entrance<br>
vector to USB and optical disk infection. So unplug data cable on optical<br>
drives and disable all USB ports except for keyboard and mouse and bolt a<br>
shield around those plugs so they can't readily be removed.<br>
<br>
Best route is to use Linux boxes at the desktop running a KVM instance of<br>
Win7 with only keyboard and mouse on USB. If ANYTHING happens, toss the<br>
image and restore from backup and restart. will take about 5 minutes.<br>

That's going to mean reading out their entire filesystem over the network,<br>
right? Do you really want to do that?<br>
