Antigen, Trend Micro, and probably others. These are some of the most
popular though...

Subject: RE: today's admin backwards virus
So, does anyone have a strong opinion on what filtering software to use?
We haven't done anything along those lines before (hell, we didn't have
antivirus until last year). I just want to use it for blocking
attachments; we don't care about abilities relating to disclaimers or
scanning for certain language/words. Any opinions would help.
Thanks!
Matt

Jennifer,
Most everyone has already hit on the obvious, most of us use the
auto-update feature from the A/V product of our choosing. Then we go
the extra step and use some sort of filtering, be it at the fire wall or
just simple attachment blocking in our e-mail server A/V product. Here
I block .exe;.vbs;.eml;.shs;.lnk attachments from even getting through
the e-mail server. Take what has happened to your site up the ladder as
a reason to put all this stuff in place! You might get some resistance,
and even some complaints, however every time one of these things happens
the efforts you have made will be seen and will be appreciated.
TrueSecure www.trusecure.com has some good white papers on what types of
attachments you should be, or at least thinking about blocking.
Oh, the other thing we did was, well we threw IIS right out the
window!!!!!!
Good Luck

I was just noticing that most of the gurus of the list had plenty of
time to respond to the list regarding various questions. Am I missing
something?
I have been updating virus software, scanning mailboxes, patching
iis/owa servers etc. all night. We were hit externally, but we only had
to restore one webserver (although it was similiar to a slightly
compressed support.microsoft.com). Is there some secret to this sh*t
that you are keeping from me regarding quick draw administration or is
this something you pawn off to others?
I will compensate for information. (Depending on
validity.)
I'm not jealous or bitter, btw...not.
