My 2 cents...

We run it on 347 servers.  92 of them are Citrix MF 1.8.  We have yet to
have a problem with our Citrix environment that was ever traced to the anti
virus.  For our environment it has worked well.  There is some tuning you
can do to reduce the processor utilization, which I believe we learned from
this excellent list.  That made a big difference.

Don't get me wrong, with 92 of these things something is almost always wrong
with at least one of them, but we've never been able to trace it to the AV.

Subject: [THIN] Do I need McAfee NetShield 4.5?


We are a McAfee shop for desktop protection, yet I have been hesitant in
placing NetShield on the new servers for performance reasons in my migration
to FR3.  With the recent events with the exploits, should I proceed in
installing Net Shield 4.5 on my 2000/XPe boxes or look at another vendor?.
Can anyone share their experiences or alternative products I should look at?
Thanks!
