Huge +1 to that. Anyone who says product x is the best, is, at best, correct for a short period of time! All AV is poor - I seem to remember about 70% protection is as high as any product gets by some measurements. Why on earth would you encourage users not to use IE!? Again, FUD mostly - IE is one of, if not the most secure browser out there out of the box. Firefox not so great. Now I agree that you can add various addons to change the game, mostly at the expense of functionality, but these also require management and understanding - something that normal users will not have! Top browsers all managed well equal a fairly level playing ground. a

I have seen exploits on systems with just about every (fully updated) AV product heard of. There is no product that will win every time playing this cat and mouse game. I run MSE on my personal systems. Vipre and Nod32 on client computers. I encourage users not to use IE. -- Mike From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:michealespin...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2011 11:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: AV and malware protection? Yep, the current version. From what I have seen done to it by web-based exploit infections, I would classify the product as "a joke". I thought it was decent before, but I currently have no faith in it. This being part of the scenario of users, using IE, getting hit with drive-by's, those drive-by's pulling down more crap, and ultimately owning the system with rootkits. IMO, MSE has been worthless in these situations. -- Espi ************************************************************************************ WARNING: The information in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
