I've used current version of Symantec, Trend, McAfee, and ESET, all
enterprise/corporate/business versions with central management.
I think ESET is the best of those 4. Me personally, switching off McAfee and
going to give VIPRE a try. VIPRE started as the CounterSpy Anti-Malware
product, and they decided to turn it into a full blown A/V product.
Anti-Malware is more important than Anti-Virus these days, so I like the
approach.
Version 4 comes out within the next 1-2 months and they are integrating the
technology from Kerio Personal Firewall into the VIPRE product, which will be
very nice to see. They also have some other really big changes coming up as
well. Sunbelt isn't a widely known name, but I from what I've seen so far, the
VIPRE product is very impressive.
I also liked what I've read about Kaspersky.

I've would stay away from Symantec. Their filter drivers are horrible and
unstable. On top of that, their support is pretty bad.

Dear all,
We use Symantec antivirus (corporate edition 10.1). An excellent choice to scan
files and mail.
Might consume ressources on files servers with lots of file changes but all
considered works fine
in CTX environments (we have roughly 50 of them). The foot print is acceptable,
the client can be installed managed or unmanaged
though we use managed, with one server for central scheduling/updating and
reporting.
Never needed any support, in the past was a bit nasty in upgrade processes (
from Norton 7 to 8,), but
thiere supportpages kind of reports the best way to proceed in case of issues.
There are nowadays also
good removal tools so modifying the registry is more or less a thing of the
past.
Never used any other tool, but for me on a scale of ease of use and management
overhead scores pretty well.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi all,
I've asked this before... but can anyone recommend the "best" AV both for
Citrix and "the rest of the enterprise".
i.e.: low footprint, simplicity to manage etc.
We're currently with F-Secure, licensed by user - so we can have clients
installed on as many servers & workstations as necessary.
We've found F-Secure to be quite "sluggish" and memory hungry and are looking
at alternatives.
I'm currently testing Kaspersky, which I've heard good things about, and so far
it's running OK - but I'd like to know recommendations on the "best" solution
from the community.
Any help gratefully received, as ever.
Cheers.
Regards
