Symantec Antivirus 9.0 (5 User Pack)

Hi,

Most of our computers have Norton Antivirus 2005 installed already, our server doesnt however. If we buy Symantec AntiVirus Small Business Edition which includes a 5 client pack I would like to know whether everything else will continue to work sufficiently? The server runs Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.

well personally I think symantec/norton antivirus is a bag of poo

I woudl personally put somting like 'F-Secure 5 for servers' on all the servers (www.f-secure.com)

a company did a test early this year I belive.. they tested 58,306 viruses against the top 48 AV tools
F-Secure 5 came top (killing about 99% of all the viruses and other malware)
however norton 2004 came 7th killing about 86%

also I have installed symatec corprate 9.0 on all the clients wheer I work.. and it fails to pick up and stop the user transfering the file

hope this helps

correction:


also I have installed symatec corprate 9.0 on all the clients wheer I work.. and it fails to pick up tons of viruses, which my servers detect and stop the users transfering the infected file.
sorry notron 2004 killed 92% and norton corprate 8.0 killed 88%
