Just wondering (this may sound a little dumb to some of you), how can I find out more information about Symantec's "architecturally poor" software architecture? How do you gauge it against other antivirus apps in this way? It's always been very reliable and has picked up viruses pretty well up til now..

The only useful thing we found with McAffee was being able to scan machines across the network when they were idle as the load was intrusive otherwise. > Any ideas? yes, TrendMicro. Excellent range of products from personal PC protection to Enterprise-wide networked servers... Mind you we are biased as we are TrendMicro consulting partners but that is for a reason, we checked all of the major firms and they were closest to what we felt were our needs as a development shop and a Hosting Provider.
