"pain" referred to forcing people to use a virus-scanning proxy, not OPSWAT.

Correct, it requires you to have check point SecureClient - (55 is not too
bad) - the cool thing is that with OPSTOP is that you actually takes
control
of the av behavior on your SecureClient machines
I would not call it a pain

I believe OPSWAT products require SecureClient. You're looking to make sure
they have AV before they make external connections? Is this just for HTTP
traffic or do you really need remote access spftware for what they are
doing?

If it's just normal browsing, invest in a proxy server and add anti-virus
scanning to it. We're using Microsoft's ISA 2000 server as the proxy behind
NG and it works fine. We have it tied to domain authentication so the end
user has to be authenticated against the domain before they can get
outbound
access. We put Trend's Webprotect software on it for HTTP scanning. NG has
a
rule to drop all 80 & 443 traffic outbound that does not originate from the
proxy server, a rather effective way of making sure the proxy is used.

It will be a bit of a pain to make sure everyone is using it before you
implement the NG rule, but it is mightily effective. Actually, with 1,500
employees and gigs of traffic each day, it goes off very infrequently,
probably less than once a wek, which surprised me. It does grab "webmail"
attachment viruses, so I know it's working.
