RE: Comments on desktop AV - not necessarily true. We use F-Secure from DataFellows as our desktop AV; it's all managed from a central console, updates are pushed to the workstations daily, and the user doesn't have the priv level to disable or uninstall it. Maybe we have an idyllic situation but our desktop A/V has been extremely reliable thus far.
That said I do agree that an Exchange-aware, server-based, A/V product is a good thing. -Ben- Ben M.
