Re[2]: Anti-Virus on web facing servers??

[Danny Messano <danny () logicalcomputing net>]

Hello Augustine,

Yes, AV is just as important as drivers and patches (I include anti-spyware in with that as well for client machines).

With the ability to remote admin and custom configure AV per groups and such (like Symantec AV), you can roll out SOME 
form of AV To just about every machine imaginable, tweak them remotely, and run a safe and secure enterprise.  Have a 
machine that doesnt like Real-Time scanning.. Set up some exclusions, and/or make it do a full system scan at 2am or 
something.  There is always a way with AV..
