[bcab] Re: Network Server Anti-virus Software

Hi,

We use Sophos SBS here and the Enterprise version at work.  The SBS version 
comes with PureMessage for Exchange, however, I filter all emails before they 
get to the Exchange server and that takes the burden off the server quite a 
bit.  I use an appliance called SpamTitan which is a low spec machine which 
sits in front of the Exchange server.  There are off-site solutions which also 
do the same, for example, the Webroot suite etc.

One issue with Sophos SBS is it doesn't yet work with Server 2008 which is 
annoying for us, especially as we went with the three year version.

TrendMicro also do an SBS suite which I hear good things about.

Thanks.
Andrew.

A question for anyone involved it network administration, if I may?

We're looking at replacing McAfee Guardian Exchange, which (allegedly) protects 
our Exchange Server 2003, and McAfee VirusScan on our Workstations, etc..

I'd be interested in knowing what others are using to protect their Windows 
2003 servers, especially where and when heavy loadings are involved.

It's fairly obvious that McAfee is affecting the performance of both Exchange 
2003 and also Sage Line 50 (the 2009 version) quite badly, and this appears to 
be a quite common complaint.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative they and their 
employers are happy with, which is effective, but less intrusive?  (Forget 
Norton)
