VIPRE catches a lot of infection attempts too, either through known malicious EXEs or through infected PDFs. It definitely doesn't get all of them but I've been happy with the performance.

Not saying it catches all of them, but I definitely see it catching a lot of them.

(And I didn't really try if Malwarebytes catches them besides cleaning) GuidoElia HELPPC ________________________________ Da: James Hill [mailto:[email protected]] Inviato: domenica 13 marzo 2011 23.30 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement How I wish that was always the case. I really like MSE but I’ve seen it get hosed plenty of times by “Personal Antivirus” and its many other forms. Malwarebytes seems to always clean them up though. From: Rod Trent [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 12 March 2011 4:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement Wow…it’s been a long time since I’ve had to use Malwarebytes – even when supporting friends’ or family PCs these days. Anymore, someone calls with some crazy Trojan or virus, I tell them to download and install Microsoft Security Essentials on their own and it takes care of it, and keeps them safe.

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