I notice that Sophos AV was missing from the list in the home page AV survey. I have been implimenting Sophos for cleints for several years and like it a lot and was a little surprised not to see it in the list. Does anyone else use it???

BTW, Great site.

MacAfee should also be on the list.

 

I use the following in this order

1. MacAfee Active Virus Defence

2. Norton

3. Trend

4. Pandasoftware

Hi folks,

Apologies for not adding in at least an other category.

How do you find Sophos and McAfee?

Which products of theirs are you using in your sites?

Hi David

I use Sophos Small Business Edition, it has a simple interface for installing to an entire network and has a low overhead on cleint PC's. Seems to catch most problems however my colleauge cannot see past NOD32. Sophos also has a very low annual cost per user.

I am interested in what people are using for Anti Spyware as it seems to be a bigger headache at the moment.

Hey,

Sunbelt Software have a product called CounterSpy, thhat uses three different databases: The Microsoft Ant-Spyware database, Threat.net database and their is one more I'm not sure of.

There is two versions, a single client version and an Enterprise version.

It has been given some great reviews.

Hi Dave

Had a quick look at Counterspy.
Looks good but it does look exactly the same a MS Anti Spyware in terms of interface design and functionality, so it begs the question who copied who or has the did Giant license or sell the technology before selling out to Micrsoft.

Anyway thanks for the tip.

Yes, they have the licence from Giant before it was sold onto Microsoft.

When it was sold, Sunbelt were licenced to use the Microsoft database for a couple of years.

The Enterprise version as far as I know they put together themselves.

Hi folks,

Just a followup on antivirus software, a whitepaper on why to use more then one antivirus engine by GFI.
