One of the best, and they certainly know the security business (*ahem* Russians */ahem*) ;)

so....that means the anti-virus system deletes 100 files when it suspects one of them is infected?

Where is McAffe? Symantec and Norton are the same thing by the way, Symantec is the company that owns Norton.

Norton takes too many resources and isn't really as good as F-Prot or F-Secure.
Yeah, I've been using F-Secure for several years now and I like it, especially the free updates. I don't run it active but just start it up every once in a while to scan my drives.

I've been using VCOM's SystemSuite5 for a few months now with its included anti-virus.

Less overhead than Norton SystemWorks.

Mcafee here, but only because I get through my college's ITS department for free.

But what about Trend Micro/PC-Cillin? Shouldn't that be in the pole?

Does it handle viruses as well?

All of the products cover viruses. There is a spyware specific model as well. My client has recently added this product enterprise wide with good results.

Of course viruses and spyware are really people problems but as long as people use computers...well you know!
