To keep viruses from spreading, you may implement a policy whereby it is mandatory to have an anti-virus program installed and running at all times. Most people will be smart enough to have an anti-virus program running anyways. If you do implement such a policy, remember to make this policy known to your guests before the LAN party starts.
What the F*ck sort of people is this guy expecting to have at this lan party?
Why not implement a policy that people must bring their BRAINS to the party, and not run "infect.doc.exe" unless they really want what it brings.
File shares... Hmmm, don't set write access and you're safe... Don't set read access and people won't rip off your pr0n. It's pretty simple last I looked.
Virus checkers are for (l)users. Any hardcore GAMER who can pick up a virus unknowingly deserves it.
My experiance from lan parties is you're at greatest risk of viruses when your asleep, because one of your mates will take your HDD out of your box, put it in theirs, replace your explorer.exe with backorrifice.exe and return it. (Yes, we do it. It's punishment for sleeping at a lan party. You're here to play games. Not to sleep.)
no-one came to your LAN party and you were surprised? why not try washing? fucking geeks make me laugh - what is this site, Revenge of the Nerds?
That was classic intercourse!
