I can keep you posted. Send me an email at sabo_e () cup edu. So far nothing but they(trendmicro) are throwing a lot of resources at it. From my understanding there is a new version in the works for 2 qrt of this year maybe that will help. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Mark Rogowski Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 9:58 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] BlueCoat with McAfee or Kaspersky Malware Engines Yup, I'm saying exactly that. We too are at version 8. We've been noticing a steady decline in the effectiveness of the product, and our Desktop group is beginning to get fed up. Trend notifies of infection(s), it just can't do anything about them. So if the garbage is hitting the desktops you can deduce just how effective FortiGate is at stopping it as well. I would be curious to know what Trend is attempting to do to improve things. Perhaps we can chat offline... My question still stands - I would love to hear from sites using McAfee or Kaspersky in-line scanners to know how they are making out.

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. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Mark Rogowski Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:48 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU 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.
