[Technical] OT - Anti-Virus Software for Network - a Query

[Grant Frazer]

Hi Keith,

I would be interested to hear about the forced changes VET are making.
We have been using innoculateIT which is a product of Computer
Associates (which also owns VET) without a problem for over three years
on our 160 computers and we have not had any virus issues for that
amount of time.  The SMTP agent for the email server also works quite
well in filtering our emails for viruses and banned extensions. I also
know of some other schools running innoculateIT with 300+ pc's on their
Novell network without any issues as well so I am quite interested to
hear about these changes and how they could be affecting you and
potentially other schools who may be in the same boat.

Hi everyone.

We are seeking your advice and/or thoughts about 'good' anti-virus
software that we will be able to use for our 100 or so computers.
We have been using VET happily for some years, but they are making
forced changes we are not happy about so we are looking elsewhere.

Our Technician is very interested in:

Symantec anti virus.
 
We have windows 98 2000 & XP workstations.
 
Our network rund on Novel Servers
 
We are looking at changing our Anti-Virus solution to Symantec Antivirus
Corp Edition 10.0 with Symantec Mail Security 4.1 for SMTP.
 
Has anyone tried these products and how did they find them?

In anticipation, many thanks!
Keith
