I know I'm late to the party with my response, but I wanted to make sure
that you knew about McAfee ASaP. We have used McAfee products for the last
five years here and never (knock on wood) had an infection. Last year when
we renewed our contract with McAfee they set us up with their ASaP product
and I LOVE it! The desktop setup is done via a web link (which the users
could do themselves if I trusted them, but I don't) and that's the last time
I've touched it.
Here's what else I love about the software:
The updates happen automatically (including the scanning engine as well as
the virus signature files).
It updates a secure web site when it finds and/or cleans any virus.
The website allows me to categorize computers by department and generate
reports.
The users cannot disable the program (that's my favorite feature!)
I think that we paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $75/computer for a
three year period. They recently added a couple of new features, one of
which was to allow it to run on computers that don't have access to the
internet as long as there is one computer on the same network that does have
internet access and is running ASaP. I only wish all the software we run
worked as well and with as little maintenance as this software!

I know some here and myself as well have referred to Norton as a "Virus",
but we are now using Corp. Edition 7.6 and it works wonderfully.
It is very easy to maintain and if you have NT or higher on your pc's you
would never have to leave your office to maintain or install. I recommend
the "Virus".

Jim,
Our server downloads the latest definition each night. Workstations are
automated to pick it up from the server during the night. Viruscan ver
4.51
picks up the latest scan engine along with the latest definition when it
does its updates every night. Previous versions required running the
superdats. I'm in the process of upgrading all ws's to ver 4.51. -Gary

We are using McAfee as well. My biggest problem was trying to get push
technology to work on the clients. I finally got fed up and have
scheduled
the server to download the Superdat each night and if I notice a new one I
update the login script to run the superdat silent upon login. Prior to
this I had clients with outdated definitions but now they are all current.
How do you push out your definitions?

I haven't heard anyone mention McAfee. I've used it for 2 years. After a
painful learning curve during the initial installation, it has been very
good for the most part. Anyone heard anything different about it?
