It’s always a trade-off, but rather than go the route of having NO Internet access, there are a few steps…
1) Allow no file attachments in your email servers.
2) Remove all physical devices from computers that would allow employees to bring in outside software. That includes floppy drives, CD and DVD-ROM or readers, and USB ports (because of those pesky Jump drives).
3) Force all web browser access (port 80) to go through a proxy server on your LAN — on a Linux box you can configure Apache for this. On a Windows machine, I prefer WinGate. On that proxy, allow only the minimal extensions and/or content types to make web sites functional, such as plain and HTML text, assorted image types, perhaps Java or Flash but now you’re treading dangerously again. Further, you might want to limit which sites employees can access if the computer use is strictly for designated online applications. Then have employees ask for special permission if they need to get to an unforeseen sight for research or something similar.
