We use a startup script to deploy Sophos.
From: Jim Holmgren [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 3:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement We use SCCM to deploy most of ours. You can also go to the SophosUpdate share on the Update Manager and manually install the client. Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 3:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement We've had Sophos up and running for about 6 weeks now. It does use up more resources than Vipre, though. Jim-I have yet to find a way to deploy the agent w/o using the console. With Vipre it was easy to create an agent and then use that to deploy on a single machine. Sophos is a bit of a pain (from what I've experienced) on deploying to one pc. _____ Subject: RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:56:45 -0500 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] +1 for Sophos. Im a big fan easy deployment, easy to manage via console, catches a ton of stuff that Symantec did not and I got great pricing from our local VAR.

All products have their quirks. Would be nice to see a good feature matrix prepared by a non-vendor. McAfee aint so crappy anymore with VSE 8.8, though were getting too many false positives with Artemis, even at a low sensitivity level. Sophos is good on detection; its one of the first to detect the latest round of DHL email malware being spammed out in great quantities at the moment.

I was pretty excited about Trend and LANDesks Kaspersky engine until either testing or listening to SEs describe the product. I would appreciate any and all feedback on the AV vendor you use and if you recommend them.
