I want to know if it is possible / plausible that a virus can travel from an unsecured and infected machine to an internal virus protected network via an encrypted SSL VPN tunnel?
Of course. To the "remote" machine the VPN connection is simply a nice hole in your corporate firewall. It's not called a "tunnel" for nothing... Whether a virus at the far end of a VPN connection can/will _infect_ anything "internal" depends on how up-to-date your internal AV is relative to the virus, how the virus infects and precisely how your antivirus works and is configured. -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd.
