[bcab] Re: Network Server Anti-virus Software

Hi, George

My employers use (and have done for a few years now), Sophos Antivirus - I can 
get more details if you wish.

They have it customised to scan every hour and seems to have minimal effect on 
machine performance as well as screenreader usage!

  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)
