That's a pretty disturbing list. I don't see any details on their methodology - does anyone know how accurate this test is? I am real close to switching to VIPRE, but this gives me a little pause. I wonder if there is an opportunity to find out the details - what version product they are testing, definition levels at the time of testing, the applications settings used (e.g. did they have Active Protection enabled on VIPRE, if it was VIPRE).

My team actually ran trials and performed research on Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, ESET, Kaspersky, and very recently Vipre. We have been running NOD in our 3-hospital environment for over 2 years with resounding success - this is not a paid advertisement ;) _________________________________ Jonathan Merrill MCP, CCA, NET+ Information Technology www.gomerrill.com <http://www.gomerrill.com/> _________________________________ ________________________________ Subject: Corporate antivirus recommendation Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:51:15 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Hi folks, I know this is not an unusual request, but just thought I might get some updated opinions from people. 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.
