Hello,

    In the past our company computers have been connected with a hub.
Recently we switched to a server and a switch. Our internet comes in thru
the server via a cable modem. I have little experience when it comes to the
server environment, but learning more everyday. Now that we have the server
I wanted to look into getting rid of the individual copies of virus
protection on each computer and install it on the server and use group
policies to install it on the other computers. Is this possible? In the
past we have used McAfee. Does anyone have opinions about them, or
suggestions on who we should use? Looking at McAfee's web site there are so
many types of software for this type of thing. Which is the best for a
small company? (about 25 computers and 1 server) We currently only use the
server as a file server, but hope to use it as a e-mail server eventually.
Any help or advice you can offer to this novice would be greatly
appreciated.

Mike
