Re: Centralized Antivirus Recommendation

[Dexter Caldwell <Dexter.Caldwell () FURMAN EDU>]

I'd be interested in any feedback too as we are doing the same.  What are
you running currently (feel free to respond off-list if you prefer)?

At the moment we're running McAfee but we've considered Sophos and Trend
Micro thus far with a decision still pending.   We're not guaranteed to
change, but not sure yet that we will stay with Mcafee either.
