Just finishing our transition from McCrappy, lots of things coming up on initial deep scans. _____ From: Sherry Abercrombie To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Thu Mar 11 21:14:57 2010 Subject: Re: Changing AV from Symantec to Mcaffee - Good or Bad? We are just about to complete a move from McAfee to Vipre Enterprise. Our contract with McAfee is up on March 28th, I'll finish all the servers in March 27th. The cost to move to Vipre along with Ninja was significantly less than it would have been for us to renew our McAfee contract for 3 years. Personally I can say that when I started rolling out Vipre to the workstations the reports that I was getting on what Vipre was finding like trojans, backdoors malware, etc etc. was really amazing, and McAfee never even noticed these things. I can't speak for Sunbelt's sales, but I do know that last year they were being extremely competitive to get people to move to Vipre Enterprise. Try to get your management to at least get a quote from them, and then demo it for 30 days and see what it finds vs. what McAfee finds.

Not only would we rid of a horrible solution, but it would've saved us thousands of dollars. At the 11th hour our CIO overrode his IT team and decided to re-sign with McAfee. He'd never heard of Nod32. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 4:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Changing AV from Symantec to Mcaffee - Good or Bad? Because, unfortunately, it's not my decision. Our CIO apparently likes McAfee, and the McAfee sales people are telling him that their "catch" rates are much better than Symantec or Forefront. No one here has heard of Vipre, and I don't have enough pull to do more than mildly suggest it. I'm going to keep my ears open, though, and try to do some of that mild suggesting, to see where it gets me... We're looking at going into a big EA with Microsoft, and part of that package is that Forefront would be included. Anyone have any bad stories about that one? I personally just don't know if I'm comfortable with Microsoft AV on Microsoft OS, but that may just be me... >>> "Andrew S.

Sent: Mar 11, 2010 5:22 PM Discuss please. Personally, I'm very much against it. I've had a bad taste in my mouth for McAfee from way back in the Code Red days... (72 hours to recover, 70 of which I was in the server room) I also don't care for Symancrap, but that's mainly due to the bloat, and how hard it is to get rid of... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ -ASB: http://xeesm.com/AndrewBaker Sent from my Verizon Smartphone ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ -- Sherry Abercrombie "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
