Agreeable...
Luckily here at our site we have about 20 - 30 users per server and most
know how to look at the message and see who generated it and call only
if need be.  The other thing is that the message is not that you have
been infected but rather that it has blocked the infection.  Most we get
are the Trojan redirects from people surfing.  The e-mail blocks is a
different story.  We are scanning on the exchange server and a message
is sent to the user that a virus has infected their e-mail and that the
virus was blocked.   The pop ups are only when surfing or if they some
how get a virus through the e-mail that was not blocked there and the
local scanner catches it (this has never happened at our location)..

So if one person gets an infected file that is filtered out, I'm going
to have 120 users calling me that they saw a message??  TOTALLY
undesirable...

We run CA and the popup goes to everyone that is logged into the server
that the scanner that generates the popup for.

Not sure where the popup goes to.  Knock on wood but we have not had any
infections hit the farm.

I will have to download the EICAR test virus and see where the message
pops at.  I will post back what I find.

This is the product that we currently own, but I am hesitant to put it
on TS boxes because of the load that previous versions of this software
have placed on systems..  Not to mention the fact that I DESPISE CA..

But, again..  Does the product pop up infection notifications to the
user, or only to the console??

I use Computer Associates Inoculate 7.0 and it works great.  Create a
custom install file and push it out to all the machines and it is locked
down and runs small in the TS environment.  Have seen 0 extra load in
our farm.
