I know Nod32 can remove Mcafee without even requiring a reboot. We were impressed when they did this for us last year.

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

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.
