RE: Antivirus

["Jason Bethune" <jbethune () town kentville ns ca>]

I only use Terminal Services in admin mode for my servers from home. I know
my current NAV doesn't like TS at all. I am a bit sick of Norton (Symantec)
and how much resources it take sup on the computers which the client is
installed.

One tidbit: if you use RAdmin (remote administration software), Symantec
10. corporate sees it as a threat, and there's not any really good way
to centrally deal with this. It's been a terrible mess.
