   Exactly.   
      
   And that's why we're restricting VPN access to our network to VPN   
   software solutions that lock down the configuration on the client side   
   to prevent split tunneling while the VPN link is open. All our VPN   
   clients have full internet access through our corporate internet   
   firewall (implementing virus scanning, spam discovery, trojan blocking,   
   spy ware blocking and the like)

   Please don't forget that doing it your way not only opens your PC to the   
   internet but also the remote one.
