Dear Rafel Ivgi, The-Insider, Now bad things about McAfee: antiviral bases are updated only once in a week (remember Mydoom? Kaspersky updates signatures every 4 hours), ----> McAfee has Daily DATS available and always makes new DATS available within 4 hours (usually a lot quicker) of a major outbreak that is classified Medium-on watch or higher (Level 3 and up according to Symantec's levels) dies on checking far.exe, detects any MS Office file with dot in a name as a heuristic virus, --->Not true with the Enterprise versions that I've seen.... What version are you talking about?? requires ePolicy Orchestrator to be managed in corporate network ---> All AV products have their own management product... EPO can control Symantec's stuff too :-) There is also a smaller less expensive EPO like product for corporations 500 nodes and smaller.... and in case of centralized 'mirror' updates requires all updates to be downloaded twice (because it's impossible to update machine with mirror itself from mirror). ---> Not true, sort of, the mirror machine will be the repository, and will have to get the DATS from itself, big deal... another comment: although their distributed repositories arent' perfect, EPO 3.x handles update much much better than previous versions. Any antivirus comparsion demonstrate one thing: CURRENTLY THERE IS NO GOOD ANTIVIRAL PRODUCT ON MARKET. ----> I'll give you this re-phrasing: Currently there is no PERFECT antivirus product on the market.
