Enterprise antivirus that doesn't stick to your system likebuttermilk pancakes.

[Guest setht@sogetthis.com]

Could anyone recommend an enterprise antivirus solution for a network

with more than 100 computers?

 

I have tried Symantec Endpoint protection, and well it's more like a

virus than many of the so called viruses I have seen.

 

I want something that just catches viruses and spyware.

 

I don't want a firewall

I don't want a anti spam solution

I don't want a privacy guard

I don't want a intrusion detection system

I don't want a self monitoring tampering system

I don't want a centralized quarantine server

I don't want a centralized SQL database reporting server that gets

overloaded with messages

and crashes

 

 

I just want a file system scanning antivirus program thats easily

deployable and WORKS. Symantec Endpoint protection also has a NASTY

habit of letting spyware right past it I might add. So after done

installing a 500 MB behemoth it still doesn't do the job while only

slowing down everyone's computer.

 

Does anyone program software that is light, fast, and does the job

anymore?

 

Please could someone recommend an antivirus solution that is not

riddled with feature bloat! After all the whole point is so that we

can use our computers!!!

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

Enterprise workstiations should NOT use a fireWall aplication unless the nodes are

notebooks are are used to go on travel and then you DO want a robust FireWall.

If you don't train your personnel properly you do but the anti spayware solution does NOT

have to be from the same vendor and the enterprise anti virus solution.

| I don't want a intrusion detection system

 

That's a mistake IDS and Buffer Overflow exploitation protection are important in an

enterprise.

What does that mean ?

 

 

| I don't want a centralized quarantine server

 

I haven't seen any. The quarantines are localized.

That's why you DO need anti spyware !

I think you need to do research rather posting a query.
