RE: Antivirus Comparison

["Mike MacNeill" <mmacneil () crosscountry com>]

I think it's all a matter of preference however IMHO CA's eTrust has a great enterprise management console and the 
client is light weight as well as having frequent definition updates.  We were using McAfee until recently.  However, 
we experienced frequent memory leaks, application errors, slow definition updates and a horrid enterprise console and 
decided to make the switch.  Also pricing was very reasonable for eTrust.  I still hear good things about Norton but 
more on the consumer side of things.  We use Symantec on our Exchange and Sophos on our SMTP gateways for a 3 tier 
approach to virus control.

Hi All. 

For years I've been using Norton antivirus products but lately I'm hearing
that Norton is no longer the de facto antivirus solution. I'm interested in
hearing what antivirus products are considered to be the best for both
enterprise and private use. As always, all comments are welcome. Thanks.
