RESEND - now with spell checker turned ON and some more data. ;-DD Guys, There are almost a dozen different "official" testing sites, labs, orgs and the like. They are all wildly diverging in their numbers because of different testing methods, samples, methodology and scope + width of their nets. One well known sire used by computer magazines one uses Kaspersky as their --single-- benchmark. You can imagine how that distorts things and also who comes out # 1 every single time. We keep a sharp eye out for sites and how they rank products, including ours. These guys are minor players and I'm not so sure what version of our software they are using, and even which product, CounterSpy? VIPRE? The fact VIPRE is Checkmark WildList Certified shows that we get 100% of that list, both detection and disinfection. It's an indicator the product lives up to at least some kind of standard! ;-DD See the details here: http://tinyurl.com/5g54jl Sunbelt's score on that MTC list is meaningless. I will ask Alex to comment on this some more, or even blog about it ! Thanks for the link though, so we could comment.
Warm regards, Stu ________________________________ From: Michael D Faulkner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2008 5:36 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Corporate antivirus recommendation We use NOD32 on our servers. Was a bit disappointed with this recent ranking report. http://mtc.sri.com/live_data/av_rankings/ ________________________________ From: Jonathan Merrill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 1:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Corporate antivirus recommendation I recommend ESET NOD, above all others. 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. Thanks, Evan . .. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
