I have a buddy that is testing the upgrade on his system and reporting back to me on how it goes. I'll wait for those results before upgrading myself

We currently use Symantec Corp AntiVirus V11 on our SBS 2003 network. No problems with it that rate a mention. Now we've been offered an upgrade to Endpoint Protection. I downloaded the product (huge downloads BTW) but am reluctant to install until I know more about it's pros and cons. Anyone out there have experience with the upgrade on a SBS 2003 network? Recommendations? We are a 20 user network with heavy use of Sharepoint and Exchange.

Any experience with Symantec Endpoint Protection upgrade - pros and cons?

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.
