Any risk of someone hacking in to the office network when a home office
computer is connected with PCAnywhere?

Status and data ports are opened on the firewall and forwarded to the hosts
IP. No VPN.

I get asked two questions frequently. Can a home user get a virus and then
infect the network computer via PCA. Can a user without a home firewall
provide a hacker a way into the office network via PCA?

I say no to both.

Agree? Disagree? Comments?

Can someone help with a good way to explain this to users.
