Re: Antivirus for MAC.

I have used Sophos products in the past and have had good success on
multiple platforms.  We were thinking of replacing our McAfee Windows
solution with them.

Subject: [SECURITY] Antivirus for MAC.

We currently maintain about 5000 installations of McAfee's VirusScan for
Windows which we manage with ePO. We had been using Virex for the Macs
up to a few months ago when our licensing expired. Virex was terrible
and without an on access scanner, not really useful. With that, we have
been shying away from the renewal process.

It looks like 8.6 for MAC is almost out of beta and does have an on
access scanner.

Before I move forward I would be interested in hearing what products
others are using and what their experiences have been.

Thanks.
