I have a very important question for the system smart folks out here. My laptop computer at work is definitely infected. It has a patch on it (of some sort) that keeps fighting off new attacks - it actually get the things like the little window that says "Your computer is shutting down in .50 ...". It no longer shuts down though.

Our computers at home are NOT infected and have all the right patches and we're behind a firewall.

Question is - if I bring that laptop home from work - would it be safe to do work on it behind my firewall or should I disconnect all of my computers if I want to work with this computer. I connect to work via VPN.

I'm going to ask my "desktop support" guys the same question, but I'm not sure I completely trust the answer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
