I have to agree...I've had Sophos on the desktops for years and up until the last couple of years, it was great. It still does a good job in identifying and taking actions on viruses, but the management console, reporting and other features are poorly engineered. I'll be looking for something else when my current contract expires. I'm going to take a hard look at Antigen.

I'm thinking of re-evaluating our allegiance to Trend Micro for desktop antivirus. Not that they've done anything wrong, just think it's time to take a look around and see if newer or better things are out there. My top three requirements would be: 1) Excellent threat detection record and frequent updates to threat definitions. 2) Good admin interface with easy and reliable remote installs. 3) Good deep scanning ability of clients with a real-time scan that doesn't hog resources. I've heard good things about Kaspersky. Anyone have thoughts about going in that direction? And yes, Stu, I know you will recommend Vipre... <g>. Just looking for some unbiased user opinions. Feel free to email me off-list if more comfortable. Thanks, Evan ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
