[tech] Virus scanning on Windows machines

Following on from [AHC]'s initial efforts, I've installed F-Prot
Anti-Virus on all Wheel-controlled Windows machines in the clubroom.
They're licensed under the UWA site license, and updates are provided by
the same.

I've also instituted periodic scans of user files using ClamAV, which
should provide a useful second line of defense against file-based malware.

Any suggestions on hardening the Windows machines against other malware,
preferably in a hands-off fashion (inasmuch as is ever possible with this
sort of thing), are gratefully received.
