That may be true, Kaspersky has a good name in the industry. But "updated definitions" are beginning to be old hat. When the bad guys are pushing out polymorphic malware (and they are), definitions will never catch up. You have to be looking at heuristics and even better, highly efficient behavior-based technology. Performance is also still very important, if your security app bogs down the machine it runs on, the purpose is defeated to a large degree. If you are looking at AV you should put this one on your shortlist: http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/

This person made the comment that Kaspersky was generally #1 for getting updated high-quality definitions out ASAP. Personally, I haven't used them yet, but next time I renew a license, I'll be taking a close look at their engine and updates and cost. ________________________________ From: Joseph L.

Looking at their two products now, it seems Kaspersky has a Squid module for our proxy which is kinda cool. Any opinions on the management aspects? Any current users with opinions on the quality of support?
