McAfee is what we use as well - it has interesting features, such as "Unwanted Programs" and block network connections "when a remote computer writes a threat to this system". Network connections are by default unblocked after 10 minutes.


I must admit that I got to install my servers and I chose not to adhere to the standards (which were designed for workstations) and was backed by my manager after the fact... :)

Good luck!

Cheers,
Tony

Well, it has a mcAfee, I don't really manage the OS or AV. I have requested the engineering team to add exceptions to the AV... they have yet to reply or do anything...

In any case, this server is supposed to adhere to a standard, so disabling services and or AV is not really an option... at least not directly. Approval needs to be given by a dozen people before we can do anything of the sort... but yes, I have made these recommendations already.
