How can I make sure my home computer is safe to use for remote access?

Transitional Service's policy is that all users who use the remote office access must demonstrate the computer they are using is secure and free of any viruses.  Once a month, you should go to an independent web site such as security.symantec.com where you can run their online virus scanner.  The results of this will need to printed and submitted to the Security Officer.

Be aware that the first time you run these scans, there will need to be ActiveX installations performed.  Simply follow the prompts and on newer PC's be sure to watch for the small drop-down bar at the top of the browser (Click here to see an example of what this will look like) that prompts for the install to be accepted.
