With VIPRE, or any other product that has similar options, what would happen if you set the update options for laptops to update from Sunbelt's servers over the Internet, but set the policy\reporting server to the public IP address on your router, and port forwarded those ports to your VIPRE server. Would that work? -----Original Message----- From: Andy Shook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 7:19 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Corporate antivirus recommendation - for external laptops Vipre\CSE has the option to get update from the Internet if internal servers are not availble. Works very well...

I just sent this exact same question into sunbelts support page this morning. Were in the same boat. Our laptop users only connect to our network a few times a year but we still provide remote support. We need an antivirus product that will check in with us every time its online.
