Re: Exchange Server Virus Scanning

["Fretz, Kerry" <fretzk () PHILAU EDU>]

We use a two tier approach with virus protection.  We are using a Barracuda SPAM/Virus Firewall that blocks the 
majority of incoming viruses and then use Network Associates/McAfee Group Shield for our Exchange 2003 Servers.  We 
have been running this for over a year and have been extremely pleased with the SPAM firewall and virus protection 
combination.

Subject: [SECURITY] Exchange Server Virus Scanning



Hi all,

We have been using Antigen 8.0 from Sybari to secure our Exchange server
2003 infrastructure. Today's issues with the Kaspersky engine
slowing/breaking mail delivery have our "powers that be" asking
questions about which product is currently the industry standard for
education.

Can I ask if anyone out there in the world of higher Ed has some
personal preferences or areas that I might look to evaluate the
benefits/costs/ and drawbacks of changing horses?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
