On another similar note, does anyone have any recommendations for a AV appliance to sit next to my firewall? -----Original Message----- From: Greg Hall [mailto:ghall () thecomputerguys biz] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 7:56 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Anit-Virus Software I would defiantly concur, I run a company that sets up business networks and supports them. I have tried every package I could get my hands on. Trend Micro over all leads the pack. Theirs is a three tiered package Sever protect, Office Scan, and Scan mail all of which run scheduled and real time scans, and couldn't be easier to administer. The only complaint I have so far is the add-on package they offer for filtering spam. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Whitehead [mailto:brian () whiteheadconsulting com] Posted At: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 3:14 PM Posted To: Security Conversation: Anit-Virus Software Subject: RE: Anit-Virus Software I have to second this. I have used McAfee, CA Etrust, Norton, and Trend Micro. I have to say that I prefer Trend Micro over all of the others. It is much easier to manage and causes the least number of problems on the client machines. Stay away from CA's Etrust product. It is by far the worst anti-virus product I've ever used. Users that had this always complained of slowness, random crashes and lockups, etc.. Check out Trend Micro, they just changed their pricing structure last month and it costs per license rather than buying a large bundle. They also have client/server/messaging suites that provide everything necessary for a company. Brian W. JAVIER OTERO said:

We have about 15 people running windows, a windows 2003 file server and possibly and exchange server, and over the next two years we will grow to around 100 employees. Basically, I want virus software that I can manage from one console, and will do a good job of finding viruses. I'd prefer to have the file server and exchange server be able to be managed by the same console, but if not I can live with it. I've been looking at Norton and Panda, but am looking for some real world opinions. John roberts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
