I have long since stopped being surprised at the lack of mention of Sophos. I have used Sophos for the past 7-8 years and have been VERY happy with it. Their support has been top notch. But for some reason it gets very little press in the US and this listserv. The sad thing is that I have been able to sit back and watch other companies (both big and small) go down and we have had little to no problems with viruses. We have NEVER taken our mail server off line. We have never taken out network down. We just keep Sophos up to date and everyone is happy. It is so effective that I have taken to chastising any company that sends 'you are infected' messages to our users. Without even checking the users station! Oh, sure, thee has been the occasional laptop or users computer that has received a infection. It never spreads, and the root cause has always been the user.
There are several other good companies out there as well as Sophos, but Sophos really does deserve some mention. --------------------------------------------- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
