My university has a really nice system up where they give you a virus
scanner, if it detects a virus it sends a message back to the network
and cuts you off from the Internet. This is really handly when downloading emails from one of my publicly listed addresses! If I downloaded for example AVG, and ran that and it detected a virus, it wouldn't cut me off from the network would it? |

| Most AV scanners let you use their api's... thus you could make a simple program that handled the 'Virus Detected' event of your AV scanner and then disabled the internet connection on the pc |

Most corporate AV licenses include additional api hooks. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |
