Antivirus Recommendations

[Guest Igor Pinchevskiy]

Hello,

 

I would like to get some recommedations on the Antivirus software that

you guys use. We currently use Symantec Corp V10 (i believe) and that

thing slows everything down accross our LAN and WANs. Can you

recommend anything that will not slow things down as much?

 

Thank you in advance,

Igor Pinchevskiy

There is no effective AntiVirus on earth that's not also a CPU-Hog.

Perhaps because that's not possible? Inspecting resources always takes

further resources for the inspection itself.

If anyone's interested: I use Kaspersky.

Igor - I've used SAV since it came to the market - SAV 10 will do an

"autogenerated" logon scan that will slow down machines during the first

couple minutes that any user logs onto the machine the first time in a

session - delete the "autogenerated" scan.

 

You can also disable the Network Scanning function if you have it

installed on all your computers/servers, it will save you performance

cost.

 

In all cases, the only time I've seen SAV 7+ cause a performance issue

was when there was a compromised system beating on the machine that was

slow or when the machine was just way underpowered to start with (before

SAV was installed).

I too have had good luck with Symantec Corporate Edition AV from 8.0 on up.

The only time I noticed a big slowdown was with Network Scanning enabled at

a client using a client/server application heavily. I disable Network

Scanning on all my installs.

Thank you guys, I will try disabling network scanning to see if it

would make a difference.
