   Hi,   
   Yes it's a security risk if the remote computer becomes compromised, as   
   the internet connection going out locally could allow a back door into   
   your network when the client vpn is connected. However with the ms   
   client you can open up split routing to do what you need, in the tcpip   
   properties of the remote PCs connection to you under advanced untick the   
   'use default gateway on remote network' then only traffic destined for   
   the subnet that the client vpn address gets goes down the tunnel, all   
   else goes out locally. If there is more than one subnet at your location   
   the remote clients would need to use the route add command to add the   
   additional routes needed.
