Re: Antivirus Comparison

["C. Francis Pineda" <cfspineda () gmail com>]

agree with mike completely, no single av can give you the right
protection. have helped so many companies in this area and i guess,
the 2-tier or 3-tier (if you have the budget and necessary resources)
approach would be the best solution for you. they have different
signature databases, engines and features. in combination, they work
great.
