    I agree about Sophos. They have a number of licencing options, some of which
    include free copies of the software for staff to use at home. I'm sure that
    a lot of companies find that staff process company data on their home
    computers even if they aren't meant to. They also provide free 24 hour
    support where other vendors charge a small fortune for less of a service.

    I am very fond of Sophos AV from www.sophos.com.
    I have had it in production with signiture replication over 6 sites with
    about 3000 users and it worked like a charm.
    Licensing should also be fitting, they are pretty flexible.

    Betreff: Anit-Virus Software

    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.
