If you now how to configure it, it works fine. Stop blaming the software. We run Webshield, Netshield, Groupshield and VirusScan here and NEVER get infected. Outbreak Manager works well also. We have premier support and it works well for us. We've never had any of the problems you describe. We are DoD so we have to use NAI products (or Norton - no thanks.) but it works for us. If I was starting from scratch however I would probably go with Trend.

McCrappie it the nick name it's gotten at my place since it has let through
almost every virus conceivable in. Outbreak protection is next to useless,
support site sucks. Major virus warnings are announced on their site, with
the added info that an update will be ready in a few days. Will tell you it
cleaned a virus when it didn't.
When it Quarantines a message it just quarantines the attachment, but sends
a message on to the recipient, So I still get numerous calls from the users.
Since it sends out a message to the intended recipient, and to the admin for
each virus received it is almost worse than having nothing, because your
server is twice as busy.
Never has crashed the system, but that's about all I can say good about it.
Go with Trend or Antigen, and go home early.
Go with McAfee, and go with God. You'll need him.

Any gotchas anyone one had with running McAfee GroupShield 5.0 on Exchange
5.5 SP4? Management has backed me into the corner and I am forced to
finally install some type of anti-virus on the Email server. Any tips,
tricks, hints, or allegations would be appreciated.
