Ban children & teens from your work computer

I find it common that people, including some who work in the Army, letting their children and teenagers use their work computers for fun and entertainment.

The younger users often install their favorite games, chat messengers, file sharing, browser toolbars and other software without permission from their parents.

As a result, the computers become infected with spyware, trojan horses and other computer nasties, posing a major security threat. In addition, some of these software tend to mess up the computer, giving computer technicians like me extra business.

I believe that people who value their computer security should give younger members of the family another computer of their own to play with. With computers costing only a few hundred dollars nowadays, why not buy yourself some peace of mind?
