Well Alligate should most definitely be in your plan. I run it, cuts server hits by over 90%, is cost effective. Cuts Virus by nearly 99% as bots don't get through I tried SM as well as microsoft. Best thing I have ever tried was Alligate.
Works well with Declude and they even have something coming out together. Guess SM has nice web interface now tho. At 01:34 PM 2/13/2009 -0600, Todd Richards wrote: >Thanks Craig.
