What is the difference between Trend SMB and OfficeScan. Do they both
work on Citrix servers?
I'm still using Server Protect, but I don't see in their products page
anymore. Has it been retired?

I've been using Trend SMB for a year at one location and it's a
pretty good product. I'm more acustom to Enterprise level A/V products
from my day-to-day experience so SMB products rub me the wrong way a
little. They over-simply too much IMO, but that inpart because the idea
with SMB is for things to be easy to manage. But I still like more
control then less, even in SMB environments I manage. That being said,
it's a really good product. The antispyware protection lacks a little
in my opinion.
I'm a fan of McAfee products, but there is a lot of management
to use them. McAfee has recently retired their SMB product in favor of
McAfee Total Protection Service and Protection Service Advanced. It's
based off McAfee ASaP technology which used to be home desktop use only.
It's a hosted solution. You install the AV/Spyware client on the
desktop and it communicates over the internet (SSL I believe) to the
hosted server where you centrally manage everything. I equate it to
McAfee taking ePO 4.0, and hosting it for you. I did a short demo and
it was pretty nice. It's something McAfee sells to small business and
enterprise (it can scale to 10k seats apparently). Might be worth
looking into. I may switch one site of Trend SMB over to this solution
when their renewal comes later this year.

Any recommendations on the best antivirus software to run in a
small business for servers, workstations, and Citrix. Needs to be easily
deployable and manageable in a LAN/WAN environment as we don't have any
type of software deployment tools. Should have a light footprint as some
of our hardware is old. Ideally needs to have Sharepoint and Exchange
store scanning capability.
Anyone using Microsoft Forefront? We are a Microsoft/Citrix shop
so when possible we stick with the Microsoft offering in order to keep
TCO down. However I don't want to pass up a better solution and I'd like
a solution that is not entirely signature based.
Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations,
