Take a look at Avira Antivir.

What AV do you recommend? Vipre is on the list, as is Symantec (beyond my control). Trend was the third but I am open to nixing them in favor of something else. %dayjob% = 450+ seats with dozens (50+) remote workers that work from home, multiple SAN's, couple hundred servers, blah blah blah...

I personally do not like any software package that at 850MB when downloaded expands to take up 8.5GB on the server within 4 days. And the supports advise is to switch off the new features, and leave you with the functionality of the old version, but doesn't improve performance. It also seriously corrupted a DFS share, and database on one site, again there are technet articles and such that state that Trend needs to be disabled from scanning DFS databases and shares, but that was only after teh damage was done. Version 4 -5 issues on upgrade, and a rapid release of 5.1 to solve them. 5 - 6 serious issues on upgrade, no fix, even 6.1 didnt solve the problems. The only fix was complete removal, and replace with a different product. I have raised the issues with Trend, and told them we were stopping selling their product, and would only continue renewing existing licenses who wanted to stay with Trend, and nothing was done. They keep phoning every couple of months, to see why were not selling and I keep telling them, but they never respond, until its chase sales figures time. YMMV but they have seriously burnt my birdges, and indirectly cost my company money, in fixing issues caused by their software.

Small environment though, 55 systems, fairly "clean" clients and just two sites.

It killed (literally stopped servers and clients talking, due to scan overload, and resource hogging) 4 networks when it was upgraded from 5 to 6, Had to remove it and install vipre which made very angry clients very happy Graeme On 17 February 2011 16:44, Steven Peck <sep...@gmail.com> wrote: Here we go http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2011-01-07/ Steven Peck http://www.blkmtn.org On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 7:58 AM, Mike Gill <lis...@canbyfoursquare.com> wrote: Bla bla, our def files are I the cloud, bla bla, something about virtualization density, bla bla cloud, bla bla bla. Of the different AV product I have worked with, all of them allow for an alternate server location for def updates if a local store isn't available. I'm not sure what they're trying to sell, but they like saying cloud over and over.

Their WorryFree product does this as well and seems to work OK at the client of 55 machines that has it (it gives you the option to update from the local Trend machine or from Trend's servers). Seems to me they're using "cloud" to mean "clients update from us and not your local server".
