I have used it on client machines for the past 6 months and also find it
equal to Norton Corp except for one thing. It handles mail clients
differently in that it does not scan email as they come in but instead seems
to scan it only when you attempt to read it.
Norton Corp seemed to catch the viruses as soon as the mail was popped and
worked with exchange client very well also.
Obviously the mail scanner should prevent viruses from passing through
anyway.
There is an obvious advantage to using a different product on the desktop
versus the mail server in that if one product misses a virus the other
should pick it up but I personally believe that the price difference between
F-prot and Norton is not warranted.

We've used it for a couple of years. Works as well as Symantec or McAfee as
far as we can tell. Just make sure you set up updates and notifications
properly and it works like a charm.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] OT: F prot as a desktop scanner
I've been happy with F-prot on the mail server and since I know many people
are using it on their servers as well, I was wondering if anyone has it
deployed on their user's machines. If so I'd like to know, how well it does
on regular windows XP machines. You can't beat the price
Thanks - Marc
