Re: What about Kaspersky AV?

This doesn't suprise me at all. The main problem with Norton and
Mcafee is that neither one detects/cleans as well as Kaspersky or some
of the other better AV's, yet the user has a false sense of security.

I agree. Ours is a small network (52 machines) but when I took the job
all but two of the machines were running Symantec, and not a single one
of them was clean. They averaged 4 active infections per box, some much
higher. The other two were running McAfee, and one of them wouldn't boot
properly until I removed it.

The first thing I did was switch to Kaspersky. In three years malware
has tried to infect the network only 3 times that I am aware of, and
Kaspersky caught them all.
