Re: AV client for Macs

["Eric C. Lukens" <eric.lukens () UNI EDU>]

Many of us here have had problems using Symantec's solution for Mac, so
even though we are licensed for it, hardly anybody uses it.  It just
crashes and caused general instability issues on our Macs that were
difficult to pinpoint, but went away as soon as Symantec's software was
removed.  Many of us tested Sophos's Endpoint protection
(http://www.sophos.com/products/enterprise/endpoint/) and found it to
not have the same problems.  Unfortunately, we're not really in a
position to pay for two A/V products, so we're hoping the upcoming
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 will have a better Mac client.
Otherwise, for on-demand scanning, ClamXav does alright, but isn't a
solution for real-time protection and isn't really easy-to-use for your
typical end-user either (http://www.clamxav.com/).
