Usually when a user does not want to work with EPO it means that they did not take the TIME to learn it. Take a look at McAfee's latest venture into EPO version 3.0. It does it's job and kick's Symantec's butt anyday.

I'll have to agree re: CA. CA's software is klunky, and causes no end of frustration for all involved. If they'd focus on solid apps rather than solid licensing...they'd be in better shape. McAfee is okay, but I don't much like having to work with ePolicy Orchestrator Trend, I've only worked with on a desktop (consumer rather than corporate). it seems rather solid, and doesn't interfere much Symantec. Far and away my preferred AV solution. Symantec AV Corporate or Enterprise Edition will satisfy your needs nicely. The downside is that the Exchange AV/Filtering has it's own mgmt UI that relies on IIS. All other mgmt happens through an MMC console (Symantec System Center). Definition distribution is handled by the server (1 download and is distributed to all clients connected/configured). Least interference I've seen, with regards to end user experience. hth Justin -----Original Message----- From: Brian Whitehead [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 3:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Anit-Virus Software I have to second this. I have used McAfee, CA Etrust, Norton, and Trend Micro. I have to say that I prefer Trend Micro over all of the others. It is much easier to manage and causes the least number of problems on the client machines. Stay away from CA's Etrust product. It is by far the worst anti-virus product I've ever used. Users that had this always complained of slowness, random crashes and lockups, etc.. Check out Trend Micro, they just changed their pricing structure last month and it costs per license rather than buying a large bundle. They also have client/server/messaging suites that provide everything necessary for a company. Brian W. JAVIER OTERO said: > Try Trend Micro, has the features you ask. > > Ing. Fco.
