Thanks Josh and it sounds like so far so good. We are running Windows 7 and one of the challenges appears to support for central deployment. It sounds like you are using GPO's to circumvent this particular issue. -Shaun G.

It has worked well for us and the price point of free is a pretty good option. It's always better to use two different Anti-Virus/Malware products but so far it's kept us pretty clean overall. Deployment wise we just either install via GPO or just install as needed (standalone machines). I've found that it's default(s) are to check Microsoft for updates once a day but if you alter a Registry key (via GPO) it will check in for updates twice a day (which is better).

If so can you share your thoughts on the product in terms of performance, deployment, maintenance, etc. The price point (free) makes it a pretty enticing option to replace Symantec Endpoint Security which has been less than stellar.
