Re: AW: Anit-Virus Software

I agree about Sophos. They have a number of licencing options, some of which include free copies of the software for staff to use at home. I'm sure that a lot of companies find that staff process company data on their home computers even if they aren't meant to. They also provide free 24 hour support where other vendors charge a small fortune for less of a service.

I am very fond of Sophos AV from www.sophos.com. I have had it in production with signiture replication over 6 sites with about 3000 users and it worked like a charm. Licensing should also be fitting, they are pretty flexible.

Betreff: Anit-Virus Software

I need to set up some anti-virus software for our company. We have about 15 people running windows, a windows 2003 file server and possibly and exchange server, and over the next two years we will grow to around 100 employees. Basically, I want virus software that I can manage from one console, and will do a good job of finding viruses. I'd prefer to have the file server and exchange server be able to be managed by the same console, but if not I can live with it. I've been looking at Norton and Panda, but am looking for some real world opinions.
