Virus Control/Prevention

by itcanada . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

We are a small company of 50 personnel in the engineering industry. Our boss has decided that we should go to stand alone Internet based computers (bullpen style) thus having no internet access on our desk top pc’s. He is extremly concerned with us receiving a virus on one of our desktop pc’s. If we go to this bullpen style for internet pc’s, they will not have access to our data server or our desktop pc’s. so if a virus did get in it will only affect the internet bullpen machines. I am one of the 2 IT personnel here. I am looking into further information as to wether this is really necessary. I do not feel we should go to this length. Please provide any relevant web sites or information regarding this.
thank you

info: we have an e-mail server on site
we have our own domain name
we still plan to have e-mail access on our desktop pc’s (defeating the purpose?)
help?
