RE: Anit-Virus Software

On another similar note, does anyone have any recommendations for a AV appliance to sit next to my firewall?

I would defiantly concur, I run a company that sets up business networks and supports them. I have tried every package I could get my hands on. Trend Micro over all leads the pack. Theirs is a three tiered package Sever protect, Office Scan, and Scan mail all of which run scheduled and real time scans, and couldn't be easier to administer. The only complaint I have so far is the add-on package they offer for filtering spam.

I have to second this. I have used McAfee, CA Etrust, Norton, and Trend Micro. I have to say that I prefer Trend Micro over all of the others. It is much easier to manage and causes the least number of problems on the client machines. Stay away from CA's Etrust product. It is by far the worst anti-virus product I've ever used. Users that had this always complained of slowness, random crashes and lockups, etc.. Check out Trend Micro, they just changed their pricing structure last month and it costs per license rather than buying a large bundle. They also have client/server/messaging suites that provide everything necessary for a company.
