Re: Antivirus software

Currently using SEP version 11.0.2010.25.
These have been many times already that users reported that our SEP cannot detect while their antivirus can detected virus.

It cannot detect viruses/worms. Whille other antivirus product can detect.

Eg.
Users scan external drives using company SEP, no virus found. When used
plug-in to their home PC, it detects virus.


LOL - There isn't a single Anti-Virus/Malware product that will detect
everything, but SEPP 11.4 and 11.5 are about as good as it gets from any
vendor.

Since you didn't give specifics of "what plug-in" or "what virus" we
can't tell if it was a false detection or if you were being scammed by
fake anti-malware tools.

In more than 2 decades of using Symantec Corporate AV products, we've
never had a virus on any computer we managed (thousands) - and that's
due to Symantec combined with standard security practices.

When testing on unmanaged computers - Symantec was the only product that
protected computers 99.9% of the time vs all other products.
