We use Norton for all desktops, laptops and servers, with the exception of iMail.  We are using F-Prot with Declude and am very happy with it.  It was simple to setup and use, and has worked great so far. 

 

We looked at Norton Gateways and Netshield but I was very concerned with the system resources these products take up.  We're running iMail on an old Compaq Proliant 850R which works fine for what we use it for.  So we were looking for something that would screen out viruses and consume all system resources in the process.  F-Prot and Declue certainly fit the bill.

 

Thanks Scott!

I have seen several messages about using F-Prot with Declude for I-Mail servers.  As the price is very cheap, I'm interested in knowing what experience people have had using it for a general virus protection for users.

 

Are new definitions available promptly?  Is it stable? Reliable? 

 

Am I better off sticking with a well known brand name like Norton or Computer Associates Inoculan?
