This is part of a bigger question, and I'm not sure if I agree with the means behind it but I'll ask anyway.
Recently my IT manager and some of the other guys on the team have taken a deeper interest in AV, almost to the point of hiring a guy that does AV and only AV. They are also talking about having a 2nd AV in the building, say both Symantec(we currently use) and Mcafee or whatever. They seem to think between having 2 products would greater increase the ability to detect virus threats, whereas I feel that by the time one of these systems detects it it most likely has already infiltrated and done the damage. They then asked me about running 2 AV's on the Exchange server. With all the blocking I do I would think a 2nd product would not help much, not to mention the overhead and incompatibility issues a 2nd AV would cause on the Exchange server. I recommended they look at a IDS system or something for the firewall. Thoughts? e- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
