The new version includes the option to have your email go through the hosted Trend servers and then go to your server. If your clients are on maintenance you can go to the new version pretty easily.
You have to sign up for the basic service and it is free. I have done that at a few clients sites. It eliminates a lot of the bad stuff before it hits your server. Has a separate web console to the hosted site instead of incorporated into the normal Trend console. You can give the users access to the hosted site to check and make sure that everything is really junk and not something needed. It's an improvement over the CSM for SMB product.

For my own biz I went from Trend SMB to Vipre, I'm hoping this Worry-Free stuff is better on the anti-spam than CSM for locations that are still on Trend. I'd love to know of some "bad sites" for testing the Anti-everything software. Grab a VM, load AV, isolate from the network, and surf the bad sites, and see what happens.

I have GFI 11 in front and when that went down one time...man the complaints. Thanks, Krishna Reddy IT Manager Nucomm, Inc. _____ From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 5:56 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: AV + Firewall It has new options, but looks basically the same so I guess it doesn't address your dislikes. Client piece is also very similar, but has additional options when right-clicked. Also, once you upgrade the server, the clients auto-upgrade themselves w/out any interaction from you - very slick actually. It was about as painless as it could get! I was very impressed, actually. Ease of use they do have nailed down pretty well. You also know about their vulnerability scanner than can also auto-install to unprotected systems? That's been there since (Sorry Stu, their license doesn't expire anytime soon.).

Thanks, Krishna Reddy IT Manager Nucomm, Inc. _____ From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 2:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: AV + Firewall You know CSM has been upgraded to worry-free (in your case, Worry-Free Advanced)? Upgrading from 3.x is free (if at 3.0 you need to got to 3.5 then worry-free) http://www.worryfree.com/pr/tm/en-us/sbiz/wfbs/default.aspx I just upgraded a client last night and was super-easy, several new features I haven't had time to really check into yet.

I like that it has AV, anti-spam, and a firewall included. However the admin console isn't great and the anti-spam does not have much granularity. What other products have both AV and firewall included (other than Symantec and McAfee)? Thanks, Krishna Reddy IT Manager Nucomm, Inc.
