Re: Enterprise AV

[Jimi Thompson <jimit () myrealbox com>]

It doesn't much matter what you run on the rest of the Windows 
machines - pick what you like, preferable with a management console 
you like, and what you can get a good price on - Norton, McAfee, 
Panda, Trend. AVG, whatever.  AFAICT, they are all about the same. 
I've had a couple of rather large bones to pick with McAfee in the 
past, but know several people that are quite happy with them.

My only serious preference in AV software is for Exchange mail 
servers.  You really need to have Trend on your Exchange server, if 
you have one.

HTH,

Jimi
