- reitanqild 10y agoAlso some versions of ssl vpns scan your computer and I'm not sure if all of them accept the built in MS antivirus. (Protip: run such connections in a VM. This has a number of benefits: * when they require a full scan it takes next to no time as the vm is almost empty * when they cut off the rest of your network except for their site you can still reach google or your company server in the host machine. * who honestly wants to run all those weird drivers on their day-to-day dev or sysadmin machine? )
