I did some benchmarking a few months ago and F-Prot was faster than everything else, and in many cases 4 times faster or more.  You need to make sure that you use the 32-bit executable fpcmd.exe otherwise you will take a performance hit from the 16-bit operation of F-Prot.exe.

Just was curious, did you happen to notice how much extra overhead was added to the CPU when another virus scanner was added to the system.  With only 8000-10000 message a day for our server, it's not the newest nor fastest thing out there.

We have used it for years and are very happy with it.
 
Of course since it is cheap I suggest you use the savings and add another scanner to your arsenal.  2 is always better than 1.
 
We use AVG and FProt together.

Can anyone tell me how f-prot compares to mcafee or symantec when it comes to keeping their database up with new viruses? That just seems pretty cheap but hey that's exactly what I'm looking for as long as it works well :)
 
thanks,
