AntiVirus with server/client install

[ezkim0x]

what antivirus would you recommend for me? I really don't like symantec.

I'd prefer one that works like the symantec server version though.. where I can install the main version on my main PC.. and then install a client on all the laptops and other computers on my network.

Does kaspersky have a version like this?

kaspersky no.....if you can get ahold of of nod32 2.x it will work but version 3 changed to the classic client version & server version.

 

[ezkim0x]

any other suggestions?

or is nod32 2.x my best bet?

Why? SAV Corp isn't bloated, can be deployed from the server, and it has respectable detection rates. Kaspersky, Avira, and ESET offer a server version which I assume offer centralized installation, updates, and administration.

I'm not able to disable it when I need to for a short period of time.. when Ir ight click the 'enabled' is greyed out with a checkbox.

also I disabled the mail protection on one of the client computers and it disabled on all of them.. and I couldn't figure out how to get it enabled back again.

I searched on google and there was a bunch of people that had the 'greyed out problem' ..just don't like it.

......

so kaspersky does have a version that works like this then?

That option is customizable on the server using the Symantec System Center. Check the tutorial and notice how you can lock/unlock the option for auto protect.

It sounds like you disabled it on the server. You may want to spend time familiarizing yourself with the program.

I already answered that. Please visit their website and forums for more information.

you said you assume.. not that they did.. and the guy that posted before you said that kaspersky didn't.

so I wanted to make sure.
