Re: A Real-Time malware antivirus console

I would check Kaspersky too. No experience with them in the enterprise, outside of some small business consulting I've 
done, but the performance and detection rates are pretty strong in my opinion.

We performed a similar test.  I would recommend including Sophos in your
testing.  They like to wheel and deal, have a good product and have been
very responsive with regard to support.  The testing we ran had Sophos,
McAfee and Symantec very close in performance and detection.  The management
piece is what sold us.  In your testing, I suggest including an enterprise
management comparison.

Thank you everyone for the great inputs.I've recently been assigned
information security duties and everything comes as a challenge.
I will probably be testing NOD32,McAfee and Kaspersky but rather than
having to trust in third-party AV reviews , i would like to conduct
one myself.I've googled it and I found a basic model as a
reference.Any recommendation to do this? Some of the parameters to be
measured: load on cpu and mem, detection effectiveness,administration
console,antivirus & malware functions.Specially on this last
parameter,i wonder how accurate this malware detection is when having
to deal with thousands a obscure phishing sites of a bank in the other
side of the world?
I'd appreciate any comment on the above mentioned AV.

Thanks,

Reflect
