Symantec scans LAN drives... but you have to map them. There are two things
about Symantec AV that I like. It is a old established company inside the
U.S.,... that I trust. They may not always be number one but they are
always in the top five. Their corporate version is particularly good. And
now that MS is getting into the AV game you can bet that Symantec will be
on it's best behavior.
Maybe I shouldn't be but I am very leery of all these Eastern European
companies with anti virus, anti spy ware programs, I would rather not out
source this.
That said I always run a second scanner from a dual boot XP to check.
ClamWin is very though for this job, but very slow. As a free AV I use
ATIVIR rather then AVAST because I don't like the chunky interface of
AVAST. Plus ATIVIR scored higher in a recent PCWorld run off, AVAST being
way down at second to last.
The only thing I don't like about ATIVIR is that when it checks daily for
updates it puts a beg screen up. It doesn't stop anything but eventually
you will have to OK it to make it disappear.
On my laptop I own System Suite 6 Pro so I use it's Trend anti virus, and
Sygate firewall.... they do the job. It also comes with anti spyware
checking that seems more complicated then it needs to be.
