The policy that permits users to take files home to work on them is not relevant to the protection of the system from attacks by computer viruses. This policy may increase the risk of introducing viruses into the system if the user's computer is infected and the files are not properly scanned for viruses before being brought back into the network. The other policies listed are all relevant to protecting the system from virus attacks by ensuring that software is obtained from reputable sources, that upgrades are checked for viruses, and that anti-virus software is current and available to all users.
