I'm considering switching from Symantec Corporate edition to CA eTrust Antivirus because it is MUCH cheaper. &nbsp;We have 5 servers, 400 workstations split up amongst 65 sites. &nbsp;We are using Merak mail server so I'll be looking to use the SMTP Gateway product. &nbsp;The pricing for eTrust is less than 1/3 of what we are paying for Symantec currently, so I'm will to give up some &quot;bells and whistles&quot;.<br />

What I'm looking for here is feedback (postitive or negative) &nbsp;from anyone that has experience with eTrust so I can go into this with my eyes open. &nbsp;The decision will be made tomorrow, so promptness is appreciated. &nbsp;This is worth 500 points, so there's plenty to go around if several people have comments.

Is eTrust Antivirus right for me?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
