Opinion Needed on Virus Software
First I would like to asked a question of those currently using Computer Associates Inoculate ver 7 Antivirus software. Are you pleased both with the protection it provides and it's features?
Secondly for those running the Symantec Enterprise Antivirus software. Do you usd the Symantec software with Cisco's Network Admission Program for securing the connection of remote clients?
Are you pleased with the performance and how do you've this configured?
Below are some url's I've just looked at.

My view on virus software is that it will never protect against zero day attacks.
For example, someone writes a virus, but your system is exposed until a patch is written - average 6-7 days.
You really need some personal firewalls / host IPS to add that extra layer of protection.

Used them both; Symantec is a better software, more stable and more reliable.
If you want the reasons for that; just say so... I have a list.

Apologies for responding to my own post - however Trend & Cisco are also teamed up together to do similar things to SYMC NAC at a network level.
May want to look into whether Symantec or Trend are carrying the concept through to production and at what level.
