We've got Trendmicro on an e-mail gateway, Norton Enterprise for the Exchange server and desktops. Works well.

Personally I think our current setup is good, we could use more firewall scanning perhaps. I was told to explore the options so.... Thanks for the feedback everyone. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 10:36 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: a 2nd antivirus I wouldn't want to put two different AV all on the Exchange server. I'd prefer the setup where you use one AV at the SMTP gateway, and another one on Exchange box. If you are really paranoid, you can put a third AV for your desktops...

Antigen (with the Norman Engine) on the mail server and Symantec on the desktops/servers. Additionally Antigen will allow you to use multiple engines. I like the idea of separate products myself. -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 12:37 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: a 2nd antivirus 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
