E2K3? A little behind aren't we.... ________________________________ From: Sherry Abercrombie To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Thu Apr 01 18:02:06 2010 Subject: Re: Enterprise Anti-Virus
No not really. McAfee even has a removal tool to actually remove it that you can get from McAfee. Add/Remove programs still leaves a lot of traces of McAfee, it just doesn't want to uninstall. Uggg, I just remove Groupshield last weekend. I didn't really try to do a good clean removal because the Exchange server will be going away in a very short time as I'm in the process of setting up E2K3. (No, I'm not going to E2K10 because licenses were bought for E2K3 & no money available for another upgrade at this time.)

I had zero luck with it, but my environment is tiny by comparison and it wasn't a deal-breaker. Others report quite good success.

It would be nice is Vipre or NOD32 had the ability to recognize AV and remove it accordingly. That may be wishful thinking though.

We run a central console for about 30 sites with the newest version 4.0. It is pretty easy to deploy and the policy management is also simple. Even more, it seems to be a solid product at actually doing AV.

Our McAfee contract is nearing renewal and we're looking for alternatives. We have about 4,000 desktops in 20 remote sites. We'd love the flexibility of managing everything from centralized console, and perhaps even allowing the local sites on-site staff to have access to their own machines. Not all our pipes are that great, so a distributed model for .dat updates would be ideal. We are currently evaluating Vipre. Last year we looked at and actually chose to buy Nod32, but, well, long story, and it wasn't the vendors fault. We're also looking at Trend and Sophos. Any feedback on what you have now and why you chose it or are dumping it would be great.
