Wasn't sure if this would have been better in the Windows sub forum but thought the collective minds here may be more suited to a business solution...

I have a very small network, 4 computers, NAS drive and a network printer which are all hard wired to a small switch which is connected to a Draytek Vigor 2920n.

Ive just had Microsoft Security Essentials pick up a trojan on one of the computers that the apprentice uses which I can only presume has come from a Facebook or Twitter link or similar.

Weve only ever had one problem in the past which was actually on my computer(!) but Im wondering if there is some things I should be looking at to help safeguard the network. I appreciate its all down to the user but short of blocking facebook etc is there anything else to consider? To be fair, blocking Facebook wouldnt be an issue but I dont mind them using it on their lunch.
 
Thanks for the responses, Ive had a look at Kasperky and they offer a small business solution for upto 5 pcs and 1 server here which looks like it will do the job or is there something better? We dont have a server, just a NAS so will this wrk fine without the server?

Unfortunately I cant remove local admin rights as some of our software wont load when you do this.

Will look at CyptoPrevent now as Ive never heard of it
