The one that we use here is Norton AV Enterprise (could be Corporate, can't
remember) Edition and basically does what you need. I have it set so that
the server will DL new definition files and then the server sends the
updates to the workstations. Norton sends messages alerting of new viruses,
but only when they make the headlines, the best way to stay informed is to
visit the different vendors' sites and see what the new threats are.
I don't want to sound partial to NAV, so I'll say this. I think that the
new version of McAfee ViruScan 4.5 can be configured to do what you need. I
say think because one of my clients just received the SW and I have not had
time to play with it.

Subject: Anti-Virus Recommendations
Hello,
I have a network with about 7 NT workstations
and one NT Server. Only one NT workstation has access to the internet
but all systems are connected to the NT Server.
I am looking for a virus software product that can download signatures
and then update the other nodes in the network. Also I would like for
the vendor to send e-mail warning and keep the administrator up to date
on the latest threats.
As of now I am only familiar with Computer Associates InoculatIT
products. I know that CA's antivirus software can be automated to do
this function.
Also money is some what of a factor.
Basically I want to see what other administrators like and use and
please state why.
One more question. Does a product holding the ICSA certification hold
much weight.
