Full version is 8.1.0.825. And we only use it for desktops/servers. I wouldn't trust it with the mail system - besides, diversity in a/v for desktop/server/Exchange/gateway is better than one prod protecting all.
As far as not having the problems, how much time do you spend in the System Center Console? How frequently do you reconcile what shows as offline with whats really offline? Do you run any other reconciliation on the service? I have a script that runs as a scheduled task twice daily and it returns the status of the service on every machine in the domain. The discrepancies are enough to make one pull out hair. Luckily our gateway and email a/v protection keeps us safe, because I wouldn't bet my job on Symantec products. b -----Original Message----- From: Alverson, Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 8:54 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: NETSKY.C out..Heads up! What version are you running. We have had none of your problems and are very pleased with SAV 8.1 for desktop antivirus. My only complaint is that the Norton Antivirus for Exchange 5.5 is very old and has issues, but they are only updating the version for Exchange 200x.

The point was that NAV's defs might be out of date when NAV is protecting the desktop and Trend is protecting the mail servers and mail gateway, in which case your realtime scan is useless. For the record, NAV/SAV sucks. What kind of product will fail to start its services if its definitions are corrupt - which happens too frequently with NAV. The thing should detect corrupt defs, then go get GOOD definitions and retry the service start. Also, NAV has a way of showing itself as offline on a client (using the Symmantec System Center Console), yet the service is running on that client. Oh, and another good one; client service is not running so you do something like sc.exe \\whatever start "Norton Antivirus Server" and it crashes the service control manager on the client. Oh, and reporting out of the system center console is non-existant. NAV=nightmare antivirus. Yet we can't switch for budgetary reasons. It almost requires a fulltime staffer to keep all clients up to date and online. Fun. So what's the opinion (yes I know its off-topic) on the best DESKTOP a/v solution? How do Panda, Kaspersky, Trend OfficeScan and CA stand up? b _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
