Yes. We had Trend OfficeScan previously and I felt we were getting too much sneaking past it.
I looked at several products and Avira came out best for us. It's very light and these days we virtually never have to run "cleanups" on PC's (though to be entirely fair I use good URL filtering so that people don't get to infected sites to start with). They also release updates very frequently i.e. hourly most days. The management console can be a learning curve and IMO is the one thing that doesn't give a good first impression - stick with it and it works well though. I can only suggest try it - I know when I trialled various products there were a few that I went into thinking "this must be good because of their reputation" only for the problems to start manifesting themselves after a few minutes/hours/days.

I really haven't heard much about them so I was a bit reluctant. Do you use it?

Not sure how well known it is in the US but in most of the labs it comes out well on detection and it's very light. From: Weatherford, Chad [mailto:cweatherf...@scvl.com] Sent: 11 March 2011 16:00 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Antivirus Vendor Replacement We are looking to replace our current AV (McCrappy Total Protection for Endpoint) with something that is more light weight AND catches all of the bugs. I was pretty excited about Trend and LANDesk's Kaspersky engine...until either testing or listening to SE's describe the product. I would appreciate any and all feedback on the AV vendor you use and if you recommend them.
