Guest Stephen Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 This may be an odd question but are there any free antivirus solutions out there for Server 2003?

Guest dan Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: Antivirus It's not free but you can buy Symantec Corporate Edition 10.2 from Techsoup at a very low cost for a qualifying non profit organization.

Guest Haovard via WinServerKB.com Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Antivirus Stepehn, as said, do not "save" some money on buying antivirus. Antivirus programs uses the same pattern databases, but there are differente ways of removing the antivirus. We are using Trend Officescan in our enviorement(aprox 800 users). The good thing about this produckt is the management and the opertunity to monitor the clients(what pattern, scan engine etc.). Also, this product has built in ad-aware removing support, which have become very helpful.

Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Antivirus Every product has its sweet spot. I can tell you that Trend is often the first to report and detect a virus these days. Unfortunately, I have seen it fail in large environments as it alerts as to the existence of the virus, but cannot correctly remove it. I have been going with ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) as it does do a good job, even if it lage by a day on the detection. I would rather have the threat fixed than know that I have a problem as my team watches the network fall to pieces. Every few years, each virus company reorgs and becomes the best for one thing or another, so it isn't safe to assume the best one 5 years ago is the best one today. You do have to reevaluate every few years. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.

Guest dan Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Antivirus Symantec Corporate Edition AV works very reliably for my clients and many others. It is not "software that isn't kept to the highest standards".

Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Antivirus dan, I absolutely agree. I have used the product in some environments back to version 7.6 and it has a good track record. It is easy to use and deploy and work well in a number of scenarios. My response was to the previous poster and not disparaging against SAV at all. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.
