Good Afternoon,
We recently changed from eSet NOD32 to Shavlik Netch Protect. It uses the Sunbelt Vipre AV engine. Solved my patch/AV/Malware issues (majority) all through one app. I agree with supplementing with Malware Bytes or another malware scanner just to be safe. I understand GFI is incorporating the Vipre engine in their upcoming patch management product release . These sites are pretty good for measuring month to month performance of the different products. Personally I like virusbtn.com. http://www.virusbtn.com/index http://www.av-test.org/ http://www.av-comparatives.org/ Best Regards, Dave Dave Mattingly MIS Director Phenix Research Products TEL 800.767.0665 ext 187 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> www.PhenixResearch.com <http://www.phenixresearch.com/> Save a Tree & Keep up on New Products!

It definitely doesn't get all of them but I've been happy with the performance. ---- Jack Kramer Computer Systems Specialist University Relations, Michigan State University w: 517-884-1231 / c: 248-635-4955 From: Jim Holmgren <[email protected]> Reply-To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 08:42:10 -0400 To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement Sophos is constantly catching variants of "Fake AVs" in our environment. 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.
