SAVF is Symantec
Anti-Virus and Filtering for Exchange: http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=66&PID=10300065&EID=0 It’s pretty new… -- Matt Lathrum General Dynamics

Message----- What's SAVF? Trend Micro and Sybari
make the best AV for Exchange period... -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- Actually,
I was talking about the NAV client piece, not NAV for Exchange server. And I was
on the fence about it. That's why
I posted here trying to get feedback.
There have been some very good points to use AV filtering on Exchange
and I am going to suggest that to my management that it is worth the
money. I do appreciate everyone's
responses. The next
question - Has anyone been able to compare SAVF and Antigen? Yes, lots of people compare NAVfE with
Antigen and love Sybari's product much more. However,
SAVF appears to be a lot better.
Has anyone played with it? -- Matt Lathrum General Dynamics Decision Systems

Message----- You
are confusing. Then why did you state this "This seems to make
AV on the server itself not necessary." If you agree with us? -----Original
Message----- If the
target is IIS, then NAV running LiveUpdate on the server can handle that. -- Matt Lathrum General Dynamics Decision

Message----- What
if the target of the virus is not a desktop? What if the target is IIS? How
will a desktop handle that. You need AV on the servers. It does not degrade
functionality or stability so much as to let that slide. -----Original
Message----- This is not being helpful. It is a serious question.
Any viruses that actually get through Trend on the firewall will most likely
get cleaned by NAV on the desktop. This seems to make AV on the server
itself not necessary. Matt -----Original
Message----- Hi, here is a target on my head, beat me, beat me. DOH! -----Original
Message----- Do you
have anything more to add to back up your statement? Matt -----Original
Message----- I think it's ridiculous. -----Original Message----- Our environment has Trend running on the firewall for anti-virus
and content filtering. We have NAV running on the desktops. We are
currently evaluating Antigen and SAVF (Symantec) to put on our E2K Exchange
servers (including an E2K cluster on a Compaq SAN). However, our
Microsoft resident is suggesting to us that AV on the servers themselves is not
necessary and will only introduce problems and instability (particularly
Symantec's product). He said that when a virus outbreak occurs that
actually gets inside, a quick ExMerge on the server is just as effective as
pushing out virus defs using the AV product. With AV software on the firewall and on the desktops, what do
people think about not putting AV on the Exchange servers themselves? -- List Charter and FAQ at: List Charter
