[NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

We use Kaspersky for our AV needs, and to be honest, it's worked out well for us. It's certainly caught things that McAfee, our previous AV solution, didn't. However, they have this slight problem with being a covert arm of the Russian government, apparently .. So we need to drop them, as the

RE: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

As I've recommended Kaspersky for about a decade now, I'm interested in knowing your source. :-) I know that the USA is less and less happy with Russia... But I've not found anything that even seems official... -Original Message- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com

RE: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

Years ago I stopped using Symantec and MacAfee because both were resource hogs, missed stuff, and put all kind of shims into the OS making it a rebuild every time I had to upgrade them. Both were pains. I was happier with ESET but cost got too high for management and they wanted to go back to

Re: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

I have no issues with Kaspersky and would have no problem keeping it in my environment. That said, I currently use Webroot in ours, which is about 1k users with some laptops around the country and world like yours and its ok. I dont like the management of it and its a little buggy at times

RE: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

Just playing devil's advocate here - are you required by regulation to actually use AV? Because I think it's had its day. App management and other tech are arguably so much better, and have much less of a resource footprint. -Original Message- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com

Re: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

Yep they all suck and they will all disappoint you. I use Symantec Cloud because it's cheap and stays out of the way, catches the random thing but nothing to write home about. Sophos' Intercept anti-Ransomware tech seems interesting, have a client using it but haven't gone in depth. On Thu, Sep
