Re: [ARSCLIST] Anti-virus on workstations?

["joe@xxxxxxxxxxx" <sergei01@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm in agreement with Angie, although I don't have a DAW. I do have a video
editor, which can consume the resources on the host. I don't run a firewall
or anti-v on it, because it is off line. If I need to load software or an
update, I download it in my admin machine and scan before it goes to the
editor.
