Fortres 101 and Anti-virus software

[Bill Moseley]

I would hope that Fortres is secure enough that you don't need a virus
scanner.  

The computer administrator should scan new programs before placing them on
a public computer, but otherwise I would hope your security setup doesn't
allow booting from floppies or the execution of downloaded .exe, .com, or
.bat files on patron computers.  If it doesn't prevent this you have more
to worry about than just viruses.

Does anyone allow downloaded MS Word files to be view using Word?  If so,
would the Wordviewer be a better option to prevent macro viruses?
