Title: RE: McAfee The final Results.

I wished that too, and I "sort of" achieved it by removing the *.{*.*.*.*} and *.* filters from the Internet scan job, but keeping them on the Realtime scan job.  Since most of the infections come from the outside, the virus scanner will get to see them first.  If the files are clean and make it through the Internet scan job the Realtime scan filter will pick them up, and this keeps our internal coverage solid.  I left all the other file filters on both, which is why it only "sort of" achieves what I want, but it picks up the majority of them.  Seems to be working well, and gives me better stats.

I can't speak for or against Trend as I've never used it.

OTOH, I installed Antigen a year and a half ago and I've loved it. To my knowledge, we haven't recieved a single virus through company email since.

The only thing I would change is that I wish files were scanned for viruses before they were filtered by attachment type. I filter all executables and Antigen doesn't give me a quick way to determine if a file is a clean executable or a virus.

Was McAfee set to scan all files on the PC originally before the move?

Well I just got done replacing McAfee VirusScan with Trend OfficeScan on all
my desktops, and I thought I would post the results here.

Trend found 22 out of 84 computers had a virus on them despite having
VirusScan with up to date (4209) data files installed on them. They were all
set up to check for new dats automatically. Most had multiple infections,
with one even having 6 different viruses on it. 90 percent of the viruses
were Outlook based email viruses that somehow got through GroupShield, and
VirusScan!

I even saw several infections from KLEZ, and supposedly you didn't even have
to be up to date on your DAT fields for VirusScan to clean that one.

I just thought that this info was worth putting out there for those using or
thinking of using VirusScan.
