I am using the McAfee Corporate version of Antivirus software, which like the Trend NeatSuite has many other components for scanning emails, servers, and workstations. I have worked with Trend, Norton Corporate and the McAfee. They all work pretty much the same way, all servers find and download updates to a central AV server/servers and then push updates to the clients in the district. Norton seems a little harder on the installation but I have also been witnessed to similar viruses getting through the Trend and not the Norton products. The feature which intrigued me the most with the McAfee Corporate is the E-Policy manager which when the client is loaded locally on a workstation, I can deny certain websites this way, such as yahoo mail, rocket mail and hotmail from the students using this throughout the school day. We also have a firewall in place which handles most of these duties as well (web blocker and filtering / spam filtering).

Or any suggestions as to what you like to use & why? We've been a hit and miss type thing, and each building renews each subscription as it comes due on each computer. I'd like to get things a little more organized (the control freak in me). . .
