Re: Antivirus Vendor Replacement
In non-corporate high-exposure environments: I've come across quite a few new variant malware that weren't being detected by any AV installed or at my disposal (I typically offline clean with ESET and Kaspersky, followed-up with Malwarebytes) - but when I uploaded the new suspect files to Virus Total, the *only* positive response from all the AV vendors checked came from Sunbelt/Vipre. So, in these cases, the only *two* products detecting and cleaning the new malware were Malwarebytes and Sunbelt. Sunbelt being the only *AV* vendor detecting anywhere near the same malware as Malwarebytes. Of course, YMMV. -- ME2 On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 9:45 AM, Dave Mattingly dmattin...@phenixresearch.com wrote: Good Afternoon, We recently changed from eSet NOD32 to Shavlik Netch Protect.

RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement
We had many talks with Gartner. All I can say is that they didn't seem to understand that we don't want to add 1,000 endless features to make the feature checkbox game. We will continue to impress upon them that we never want to be like anyone else. Gartner does not actually use the products they evaluate. They watch a Powerpoint presentation by the vendor. When I went out to design VIPRE with our team, our philosophy was less is better - in other words, we wanted to design a Porsche, vs. an SUV. In talking to admins, we found that the biggest headache was performance. Well, the reality is, you add all kinds of cute toys to your Porsche, it's going to turn into a pig. I'm going to be parsimonious with whatever features we add to VIPRE. Gartner dinged us because we didn't have things like a Wifi mode (whatever that is) and USB device protection. True, we don't. Personally, I feel that a lot of what they wanted from the product would be better found elsewhere (much of it for free through GPO) or through dedicated point products. Nevertheless, we will continue adding pieces of functionality as it make sense, but I am far more in favor of continuing to refine what we have. I get much more concerned about the quality of malware detection, the usability of the console, intrusiveness of agents, and many other things that are part-and-parcel to what an admin has to deal with, rather than adding additional features. Believe me, it's enough just to make sure you have the basics right... But yes, we could do a better job getting more reviews and more analysts covering us, and now that GFI owns us, this is starting to happen (because money really helps).

I would also recommend Vipre as it is very unobtrusive and easy to configure.

RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement
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.

RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement
We've had Sophos up and running for about 6 weeks now. It does use up more resources than Vipre, though. Jim-I have yet to find a way to deploy the agent w/o using the console. With Vipre it was easy to create an agent and then use that to deploy on a single machine. Sophos is a bit of a pain (from what I've experienced) on deploying to one pc.

Vipre has the smallest footprint of Trend, McAfee, Eset, and a couple of others that have been tested here in the last couple of months.

RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement
We use SCCM to deploy most of ours. You can also go to the SophosUpdate share on the Update Manager and manually install the client.
