I'm missing something here. I set our primary update location for our update server, and secondary update location for the vendors update server. If they're connected to the net, they will get updates. I'm thinking this is too obvious though and not what you are talking about. Do you mean people who VPN in getting the corporate AV at all? This is why I ask what kind of updates.

We have more and more laptops and this is key. Question - will VIPRE do this? If so, its on our short list in a few months with Trend expires.

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. For our needs I'd add: 4) Ability for external laptops that have never been in the office to get updates Panda says they do 4, but I evaluated it and it didn't seem to be as well integrated as Trend. Every time I've evaluated our situation I've stuck with Trend. Some of our users revolt and purchase Symantec because "it's the standard". *sigh* We're a consulting company and 95% of our users have never stepped foot in the office, so I need something that works well outside the firewall. == John == From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 9:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Corporate antivirus recommendation I want to dump trend just so I don't have to hear their horrendous hold song anymore. That and the more then one hour hold times to speak to a tech then when I get a tech there is a 50/50 chance I wont be able to understand him or her.
