[bcab] Re: Network Server Anti-virus Software

Hello

Has anyone heard any reports about the Windows version of Untangle? I was 
recommended it for protection of a web server (LAMP) I am setting up and see 
there is a Windows version. I'm interested as my OCR server (Win2K3) is 
currently unprotected and I will shortly be networking it.

Regards
Tony

  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)
