RE: [Declude.Virus] OT: F prot as a desktop scanner
Working fine on my pc. I had Norton, but switched to f-prot to experience exactly what is going on in our mail server. So far so good, however don't forget to turn on the RealTime Protector in the desktop (not in the server). Compared to Norton, f-prot is not as friendly. But for me it is OK.. it does the job.. Also, one of my customers (40 desktops) uses it, and so far I haven't heard of any complaint at all. -Luis Arango -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Declude.Virus- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Cohn Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 2:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] OT: F prot as a desktop scanner I have used it on client machines for the past 6 months and also find it equal to Norton Corp except for one thing.

Norton Corp seemed to catch the viruses as soon as the mail was popped and worked with exchange client very well also. Obviously the mail scanner should prevent viruses from passing through anyway. There is an obvious advantage to using a different product on the desktop versus the mail server in that if one product misses a virus the other should pick it up but I personally believe that the price difference between F-prot and Norton is not warranted.

If you're using something like Eudora, which writes the attachments to disk as soon as they are received (and is also immune to attacks or exploits targeted at Outlook/Outlook Express), it alerts on the viruses immediately.
Re: [Declude.Virus] OT: F prot as a desktop scanner
I've used it for a couple of years with no problems. It has a smaller footprint in memory than Norton, for sure. Found that real handy with some older systems. Then there's the price difference, and the fact that you can set updates to hourly, or pull them off your local network. I like to set up a thing where I have a script on one system pull the updates from F-Prot's ftp servers and store them on a shared drive. Then all systems update themselves hourly from the network file. Keeps me from getting a bottleneck if 50 machines check for updates all at once. -- --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. mysecretbase.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
