We were using a McAfee product on our network, but it suxrox compared to Sophos. (and never had a Mac version anyway)
I know they've won our University-wide contract twice, and it's a pretty generous license; basically all systems on campus, and all personal systems of students, faculty and staff are covered. (This on the principle of mass inoculation to avoid getting a disease somewhere...make it free for ell the systems in a household to be virus free, we spend a lot less time putting out virus fires on campus.
Now if we could only get them to *do* it.
Our biggest problem is still ignorance...
User: "But my computer came with Nortons Antivirus!" Sysadmin: "But then you never updated it since you got it last year!" User: "I have to do that?"
Worse, new computers used to come with 4-6 month subscriptions to whatever AV software was included. Now it's 30 days or less, if at all. When Mikie Dell sells a computer for $3.47 above costs, there's not much left over to go to Symantec anymore.
If you HAVE to run AV on your computer, I do like Sophos.
