  A simple question for a newbie - If I patch a laptop (Win7) into my network without adding any credentials in active directory on my domain controller for internet access only can a virus still get onto my server. I like to run a test machine that loads a lot of garbage applications and I just need web access access. load and try. I also do not want to incur the cost of another TrendMicro seat. Is my server just as protected if i add virus protection (Free) to the workstation. We have of course an ASA between the net and the switch but how much that can protect me. I also don't care if the laptop itself has a virus/malware issue - I will take care of that. Just want my Windows 2008 and 2012 servers protected.

  Thanks
