Matt,
I totally have to agree. I just plugged F-Prot into my
network. Lean, quick install, nothing extra, no complicated set-
up, 10 mins per PC. The scheduled update works like a charm, and I
didn't have to fill out a 3 page registration form to get it
working either (you know who I mean)nor am I inundated with pop-
ups when I visit the site. It works on all my flavors of Windows
(I got 'em all). Plus, it caught no less than 12 instances of
infected files that have been happily co-existing with another AV
software (possibly for more than a year) on my fileserver.
Kudos to F-Prot, I'm impressed.
