Are you saying that Trendmicro Officescan is having problem with cleaning Malware from machine?   If so what version 
are you running.   We are at version 8.    We are currently working with Trendmicro on this issue.

Subject: [SECURITY] BlueCoat with McAfee or Kaspersky Malware Engines

We were at a seminar recently where the vendor was pitching the BlueCoat appliance(s) as a potential Anti Malware 
replacement for our existing FortiGate unit.  To date, FortiGate has been letting through more and more "stuff" and 
Trend OfficeScan on the desktops have had trouble dealing with a lot of it.

I know that BlueCoat offers either McAfee or Kaspersky scan engines for malware scanning.  I would love to hear from 
folks running BlueCoat (or said engines on other products) how effective they are.

Thanks a bunch,
