We use Symantec running real-time protection, but this is on a box with no more than 50 simultaneous users, 4x900 MHz Xeon processors and 2GB of memory. I've been told that it hampers system performance, but we'd rather spend the money on additional memory and faster processors than risk losing data because of a virus on the network. The only other AV software I've run on the server was F-Prot. I can't speak to whether it'll cause problems with UV though.

Unfortunately, we have just discovered that one of our UV servers (UV 10, W2K) has become infected with the Blaster worm. We have McAfee (formerly Network Associates) AV installed on all of our client PCs, but we haven't installed it on any of the UV servers because of conflicts between McAfee and Universe reported on this list and elsewhere. We suspect it was brought in on a visitors laptop, and we're trying to determine how it managed to get into a privileged part of the network, but that's really closing the barn door after the horse has escaped at this point. We now are considering installing McAfee AV on the Universe servers anyway in light of this event. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding how to eliminate the McAfee/UV conflict, or is there a better alternative - e.g. Symantec/Norton, AVG, F-Prot, etc?
