You must be really lucky then! I can lock down a workstation as much as possible, and these students find a way to infect them with spyware/viruses constantly. Luckily, SAV real-time scanning catches most of them, most all from web browsing (occasionally from home-made CDs/floppies). A few do manage to slip through, but are caught as soon as the definitions update (we check for updates once an hour). If your users are actively using the web, all I can say is that you've been really-really-really lucky so far... That, or simply the fact that they are much more professional in their computer use habits than the few thousand kids I have to deal with trying to find ways around SurfControl all day. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 2:51 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Question http://www.ISAserver.org I use GFI, Mail Essentials, Mail Security, ISA webminitor and NAV / SAV Corporate at most of my clients. I can honestly say that none of my clients networks has had a virus infection in the 4 years I have been in Bermuda.

We had one run through our e-mail a couple of days ago, brand-new virus. It took them about five hours to recognize it and update their definitions (we update hourly), and then it was detected and quarantined. During that time, it could have infected several of our workstations. While five hours isn't unreasonable for a reaction time, it still isn't good enough to protect completely. Any company that says they can keep you "totally" virus-free is smoking something really good, run from them as fast as you can! -----Original Message----- From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 10:14 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Question http://www.ISAserver.org LOL.........

(call me dumb) Well you know, CA eTrust has a centrally managed anti-virus solution that can be deployed over RPC transparently and it does just that -- it *claim* to eradicate viruses. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: isalist@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: dball@xxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
