I have been tasked with deploying Windows 7 professional at a site. I am still trying to learn the new features available in Windows 7 so please bear with my ignorance. :(
I am trying to formulate the list of applications which need to be part of the build & when I reached the *Anti virus* section I decided to post here for every ones input. The choice of AV is *Symantec End Point Protection*. Query: ===== 1. Has anyone had any known issues with this product ? i.e. ( using it / deployment problems ) 2. Can I / Should I deploy any other product from Microsoft including this AV product. ( second line of defence ) For example: Malicious Software Removal Tool http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ad724ae0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356&displaylang=en If I install the MSRT does it actually scan periodically automatically or does it require a central configuration Console ? Or any other utilities which can help. The reason I am being so paranoid about this as it is a school environment and kids have USB sticks brought from home which are generally infected. We cannot stop them either as they take course work home many a times. We are looking at other 3rd party products which will only manage USB sticks but from the desktop security and defense point of view wanted to know know your experience. cheers Peter ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
