Need a anti-virus solution for small business PC's.

I had a look at AVG business edition and also McAfee End Point Protection. McAfee is more expensive. Question is has anyone used the AVG business solution before? I know McAfee is good. Question is do I save money and try the AVG solution. AVG free has been the best free anti-virus I've ever encountered.

we use Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Agent i think we pay around $35 per user and this also scans your exchange emails. great for the price and no hassles keeping it up to date

Edit: Running ESET at home and its awesome! great support!

I have a mate who uses AVG paid for his clients. Says it is really very good indeed. I'd give that a go.

trend micro here too. (work) avast!(free) at home.

from my experience i wouldn't say that mcafee is good. it was years ago that i used it but it was pretty shit in the 3 departments that i rekn make a good av prog. 1. fast & up-to-date virus definitions. 2. no false positives. 3. no nag/info pop-ups. mcafee was bad at all 3.

We run Sophos but we're managing about 100 end users, it's good for centrally managing AV but if that's not a concern I'd just go with Security Essentials.

I use WinDBG, IDA Pro and Ollydbg for my virus detection needs. :P

Security Essentials. Does it's job, free, and doesn't have stupid shit clogging the services.

I use Trend Micro

10+ PCs and/or servers/exchange etc - Trend Micro Worry Free Business Server Advanced

Sophos is doing a far superior job in the later versions against this one.

The guy who owns ESET lives at Eatons Hills on the other side of the river from me. Has a nice house.
Shit I'd love to own that business.

ESET Australia Pty Ltd

Queensland

Sales Office : 07 3325 2999

Make that ESET Australia

sophos?

+1. Sophos goes a long way to deal with those pesky Mac users on your network who think that they're immune from malware. Yes Marketing - we're looking at you :P

It also eliminates problems caused by the boss when he unwittingly passes along funny emails with viral attachments to his mates. Usually these are the 'koopz will you come and have a look at this attachment - it won't open. I sent it to my mates and it opened fine for them' type requests.

The boss will kick and scream about the cost at first - though he'll settle down once he starts discovering malware attached to emails that they'd otherwise forward.

LOL, you can tell the discussion is lost when it becomes SHUT UP YOU POO BUM WEE WEE FACE

Loving your sig ShadowAU92

New Sophos has a nice management console for deploying and looking after your AV clients as well, +1 from me

Sophos FTMFW! Forget everything else. Sophos Endpoint + Pure Message = 0 spam and virii!

NOD32 is tops

So yeah. Had this problem on initial install. Brought down my server for 15 minutes while i battled with safe mode. My first instinct was to uninstall in safe mode but ended up using last known config after I had removed it..

Really pissed off it happened. Just spent over 1k on the software. I believe my solution is to install the server agent and then boot into last known config to avoid the initial exe that caused my BSOD.

Warning to other server 2000/2003 people.

That's what you get for using ShitMicro. Should have gone Sophos :)

We ended scripting and repackaging Symantec Cleanwipe removing SAV shite from well over 100+ pc's went perfectly with two reboots.

Who says that Symantec don't make great products ;-)
