I am with you there. The X5.5 version is poor.

What version are you running. We have had none of your problems and are
very pleased with SAV 8.1 for desktop antivirus. My only complaint is that
the Norton Antivirus for Exchange 5.5 is very old and has issues, but they
are only updating the version for Exchange 200x.

The point was that NAV's defs might be out of date when NAV is protecting
the desktop and Trend is protecting the mail servers and mail gateway, in
which case your realtime scan is useless.

For the record, NAV/SAV sucks. What kind of product will fail to start its
services if its definitions are corrupt - which happens too frequently with
NAV. The thing should detect corrupt defs, then go get GOOD definitions and
retry the service start. Also, NAV has a way of showing itself as offline
on a client (using the Symmantec System Center Console), yet the service is
running on that client. Oh, and another good one; client service is not
running so you do something like sc.exe \\whatever start "Norton Antivirus
Server" and it crashes the service control manager on the client. Oh, and
reporting out of the system center console is non-existant. NAV=nightmare
antivirus. Yet we can't switch for budgetary reasons. It almost requires a
fulltime staffer to keep all clients up to date and online.


Fun.

So what's the opinion (yes I know its off-topic) on the best DESKTOP a/v
solution?  How do Panda, Kaspersky, Trend OfficeScan and CA stand up?
