In Kaspersky you can choose whether to install the FW portion. I'm hoping that would be an option with Vipre as well, since I wouldn't install it on HQ computers behind all the firewalls but I would on a road warriors laptop. All manageable from the same dashboard. In an ideal world, that's what you would want, imho.

Re: Evaluating AV
Plus knowing that the folks at Sunbelt stand close behind any product they sell makes me lean toward Vipre. I know at the moment I have still not moved from the 1.0 NOD32 console to the 2.0 console because the documentation is so horrible. I am still not confortable with it. I know it works but they recently had a bad defination get through that caused all kinds of issues in my network. No one is perfect and that was their first one in many years to be honest. I know when it is time for renewal if I don't see a lot of issues on their forum I will be moving over if the price is right. I know from my use of CounterSpy that the interface is easy and just works which is all I need.

Re: Evaluating AV
Boot scans are *mostly* a waste of time as modern malware in the form of rootkit-enabled threats will hide from several Windows API functions, rendering signature-searching scans useless. So, unless your A/V has its own fast disk reading routines, you have a problem. It also gets worse: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/145703/hackers_find_a_new_place_to_hide_rootkits.html In case of wrapping: http://tinyurl.com/4vfsce I still recommend NOD32 products for pre-infection detection and protection.
