To be fair, SAV 9 was a completely different animal. I hated SAV 8 and SAV 9, SAV 10 barely better.
SEP 11, while not perfect, is not the same beast as SAV 9. YMMV * Anyone remember a year or two back when McAfee’s false positive declared explorer.exe a virus ? I worked with Trend Micro ‘Worry Free’ at several SMB clients 2008-2010, and it was bad enough that it saturated xDSL VPN tunnels between remote branch and home office bad enough to knock all RDP/Terminal Server sessions offline. I tried Sophos a few years back too, and could NOT get proper remote installs to complete, console management left a lot to be desired. And won’t mention CA more than just that … ugh My point is I think they all have issues … to be fair, I have not yet run Vipre in an enterprise type setup so no comparison/comments there Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

Last version I used was 9 I think. I had a 25 to 30% failure rate on upgrades of that maybe 10% would do so much damage the machine had to be rebuilt/reimaged. When we went from Symantec to NOD32 I staged the it so only about 5 to 10 machines per day were moved. I would run full scans before and after the move. Most of the machines had undetected stuff that Symantec did not find. I only used the Symantec server for control and monitoring of Symantec software. I had to rebuild that server after each upgrade. There was no real way to get an upgrade to work on the server hence the rebuild. After the second time I had this issue. I decided to build a new server before I began the upgrades of the clients. Things seemed a bit smoother but still had way too many failures of the Client. Once the server was up and running it was like a rock.

Anything from Symantec usually causes hair loss on ingestion. At least that has been my experience.
