Very good answer. Jumping in here, we have used McAfee for what seems like
forever.
We have always suspected that AV was one of the culprits stopping us from
getting more users on a server. We had some issues with McAfee and had to
remove it from a server to do some troubleshooting. A server that struggled
to support 60 users suddenly was able to handle 90. That seemed strange to
us so we tried it with a different server and saw similar results. This was
still in the NT4 world though and we haven not tried that test on
Windows2003. That is coming.
We have had strange cluster issues that we have been working on with
Microsoft for months. They keep running out of Page Pool memory. Recently
we found that we had the exact same cluster issue with a brand new cluster
with very little activity on it running the latest and greatest from McAfee
(8.x). We opened another case with McAfee last night and they told us this
issue is resolved in Patch 10 and we applied it last night.
So, now we're watching and monitoring everything to see if the patch makes
any difference. If not, I am comfortable looking for other solutions since
we gave this one years to get resolved. I have heard great things about
Trend and with a recent acquisition we now have access to it for testing.
The first place I intend to try it is on a Citrix server to see if there is
any difference in resource utilization.
What seems to be true is not every product works perfectly for everyone.
While many will jump in and say McAfee has been perfect for them, just as
many will probably say it was a disaster. It comes down to what works best
for your environment since you are ultimately responsible for it.

Hi,
How do you handle the updaterUI.exe that will start for each user on the
terminal server.
One 'workaround' is the remove the updaterUI.exe ..
What are you doing for this file ?.
with regards,
Ruben

Never tried Trend, we've always used McAfee and they've been fine
since, well, forever!
It meets all your requirements, Groupshield works fine for virus
scanning, but we don't use its antispam side of things.. We use
Protection Pilot instead of the ePolicy Orchestrator, as we're a small
shop, and it does all the same things, just easier :)
I know some people like Sophos too, but never had a look at that
either, could be something else for you to look at.
