Yeah, I just used Trend to remove Trend and pushed out Vipre agents to the
desktops as I removed Trend from them, it was really easy. For the OP, one
of the things I love about Vipre is having the ability to have update
servers at remote sites and you don't need an additional server license for
them.

Ours was Symantec 10.something, and it was about 18 months ago. I'm
sure things are better now. The bits we received to simultaneously
remove Symantec and install Vipre just flat didn't work. I wound up
running the Symantec uninstaller and then NoNAV (just to be safe)
before pushing out Vipre. We did it in phases over several weeks and
it really wasn't a big deal.

Vipre can do this sometimes. I had zero luck with it, but my
environment is tiny by comparison and it wasn't a deal-breaker.
Others report quite good success.

how do you plan on uninstalling your current AV across 4k workstations?
It
would be nice is Vipre or NOD32 had the ability to recognize AV and
remove
it accordingly. That may be wishful thinking though.

I put in the vote for Vipre. We run a central console for about 30 sites
with the newest version 4.0. It is pretty easy to deploy and the policy
management is also simple. Even more, it seems to be a solid product at
actually doing AV.

I know this has been discussed many times in the past, but I'm going to
ask
again. Our McAfee contract is nearing renewal and we're looking for
alternatives. We have about 4,000 desktops in 20 remote sites. We'd love
the flexibility of managing everything from centralized console, and
perhaps
even allowing the local sites on-site staff to have access to their own
machines. Not all our pipes are that great, so a distributed model for
.dat
updates would be ideal.
We are currently evaluating Vipre. Last year we looked at and actually
chose
to buy Nod32, but, well, long story, and it wasn't the vendors fault.
We're also looking at Trend and Sophos.
Any feedback on what you have now and why you chose it or are dumping it
would be great.
Thanks,
Ray
