    It's a good idea to use one product on clients and another on the gateways
    so that you benefit from two signature bases / two heuristic approaches from
    two different companies.

    just a thought, not criticism.

    John,

      I have been working with Norton AV now called Symantec AV for a couple of
    years. It has done a very good job keeping us clean aside from the Nimda
    outbreak. We use their email gateway product along with the Anti-virus
    client for exchange. It was very easy to set up and deploy. I manage 600+
    plus client from one console and love the ease of use.

    I need to set up some anti-virus software for our company. We have
    about 15 people running windows, a windows 2003 file server and possibly
    and exchange server, and over the next two years we will grow to around
    100 employees. Basically, I want virus software that I can manage from
    one console, and will do a good job of finding viruses. I'd prefer to
    have the file server and exchange server be able to be managed by the
    same console, but if not I can live with it. I've been looking at
    Norton and Panda, but am looking for some real world opinions.
