Javier,
There's likely another process in addition. What you're seeing is probably the tray icon process. Behind the scenes there's a much larger footprint. For Mcafee Enterprise on XP, mctray.exe is 3.1 megs. Mcshield.exe is 121.4 megs. Have you clicked "show processes from all users?"

When I look at the services from all users I find another 21.5 megs. So now we're upt to 24 megs vs. 123 megs for Mcafee.

But that's a whole lot smaller than the usual AV alone. Right now Mcafee (Enterprise 8.5.0i) is taking up 123 megs on my work laptop.

They have an enterprise version. The nicest thing about Vipre is its incredibly small footprint in memory (1.8 megs on the machine from which I am sending this message, with real-time AV and AS, including email protection for Outlook.)

Trying to find reviews is about like asking which is better, Ford or GM. McAfee gets good reviews on Enterprise but gets trashed in reviews on single machines. Same with Norton / Symatec. (This does not make much sense to me.) So I thought I would ask a brief question as to what our faithful Rbaser's might be using in an enterprise solution. (Server based, that protects servers and can push out to attached clients) Thanks, -Bob
