Hi,

take a look toF-secure Antivirus: for the same price than Symantec or others
products it as been evaluate better than theses products in virus detection.
run as service, it update automatically checking update each hours, and you
can have a client server model for centralize analyse and update with your
PC park.
I haven't seen it crash.
support is good and kick
try it, it's a great product
regards,

Usually when a user does not want to work with EPO it means that they did
not take the TIME to learn it.  Take a look at McAfee's latest venture into
EPO version 3.0.  It does it's job and kick's Symantec's butt anyday.

In the field, I have worked with McAfee, CA, Symantec (Norton) and Trend
Micro.

I'll have to agree re: CA. CA's software is klunky, and causes no end of
frustration for all involved. If they'd focus on solid apps rather than
solid licensing...they'd be in better shape.

McAfee is okay, but I don't much like having to work with ePolicy
Orchestrator

Trend, I've only worked with on a desktop (consumer rather than corporate).
it seems rather solid, and doesn't interfere much

Symantec. Far and away my preferred AV solution. Symantec AV Corporate or
Enterprise Edition will satisfy your needs nicely. The downside is that the
Exchange AV/Filtering has it's own mgmt UI that relies on IIS. All other
mgmt happens through an MMC  console (Symantec System Center). Definition
distribution is handled by the server (1 download and is distributed to all
clients connected/configured). Least interference I've seen, with regards to
end user experience.

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.
