CA Etrust 7.1 - no extra cost for exchange agent or admin terminals now. It is a bit tricky to set up, but the plus sides are :- Excellent support Generally reliable Reasonable reporting - with options to increase levels of reporting without hacking the registry Updates patterns daily - all automated Patches for problems/issues are fairly quick to be available I know CA has its detractors (vbg) but I am only going from personal experience and telling you what we have found. I am sure other people have nightmare stories, but this is true of most products. You tell it how it is !

I'm evaluating GFI MailSecurity for checking viruses in email, and it seems to be doing a good job. Now I also want to have a virus scanning tool that will check the file system for viruses, there is about 40 GB of project related files online that need to be scanned. From what I can tell the GFI products don't scan files, only emails. We use Computer Associates' VET on our desktops for virus scanning, but it doesn't seem to be ideal for use on a server, as its interface for configuring what not to scan, e.g. the Exchange store, is very cumbersome (think registry changes!). What are people using these days for file level Virus checking, that is also Exchange aware? Are there any products that work together with the GFI products in terms of virus scanning? thanks, bye! ----------------------- Ryan Sabir Newgency Pty Ltd 2a Broughton St Paddington 2021 Sydney, Australia Ph (02) 9331 2133 Fax (02) 9331 5199 Mobile: 0411 512 454 http://www.newgency.com/index.cfm?referer=rysig ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: simon.bound@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: bparker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
