Security Essentials couldn’t catch a butterfly with a tent sized net and at this point is a joke. Magazines don’t even both testing it any longer against real products. When it couldn’t’ catch 50% of the viruses when everyone else was above 70% to 100%, they gave up. Kapersky can’t be used like Lenovo for anything governmental because the entire Eastern Block has access to it. Symantec, although one of the best, is constantly being penetrated by porn sites (we have many field testers as clients). The best combination so far that we have found is Symantec supplemented by Malwarebytes full version. At the head end, Barracuda Web Gateway devices have Malwarebytes signatures among other things.

Kaspersky does. Ive always liked their products, seem effective, slightly less cumbersome to a system than the SEP. The only downside is full protection tends to cause a 20-30 percent decrease in network throughput in its default scan state, I assume that can be remedied with some configuration changes. My largest concern is its a Russian cyber-security entity, this does make me somewhat cautious. Ive never read any negative about their "trustability" in regard to their home region. If anything else, I would suspect they have greater access to source code for generating definition libraries. Anyone here ever deployed any of their SMB/Corporate solution?
