I use Symantec AntiVirus Coporate Edition. Excelent

 

symantec, is the WORST..

i use mcafee corprate licenceing edition, 7.2 and is the best. norton wont actually catch a virus, and if it does it certainly wont delete it.

thats why it comes free on computers.

 

It does, are you sure?

 

Vinson581 is right, Norton is terrible....go with something else.

 

im sure.

i work as a it manager, and we test and test anything before it goes out on our network of 250+ people.

 

Well I certainly will not question your experience with Norton/Symantic, I will say that it has not been my experience. We even have negotiated a license that allows users to take it home and install on their systems. If you keep it updated, it works well. the key is keeping up with the updates, which can be a daily operation... sometimes many times a day. This can be automated.

In many corporate environments, you will find several products in place. Where I work, we have one product on the gateway, another on teh mail servers and Symantic on the desktop. This multi layered approach is very effective.

But the above assumes he was infected with an email, which may not be the case. He is just as likely to be infected by his browsing activities as he is via email these days. With all the data mining going on these days, you really don't know where the next threat is coming from.

 

The Symantec console will allow you to make an installer bundle with default configurations you set.
I had it set to give users an installer with defaults to check once a day through the VPN to our server. it worked great for home users and drastically reduced infections at work that get there through sneakernet.
