Best Anti Virus

[Richie1972]

We're using Sophos on our servers (I refuse point blank to use McAfee on the servers)
The workstations all have the LEA supplied Mcafee, which is awful - we have no access to any central management system, so can't set exclusions and can't find out whether PCs have had infections or are even up to date (without physically checking them).
If we had the money I'd invest in something else (Sophos or NOD32) but as we don't we're stuck with it.
I do like the Sophos Enterprise Console - so easy to deploy, manage, update and review all computers (shame it's just the servers we have it on). As another poster said: install it and it just works. I get emails about infections, etc and I have a nice console for management

Sophos-Support-5, fair play for replying on each point - can't fault the tech support at Sophos from the times I've called up as well, just renewed our package for 6 months until Summer which gives time for the next Enterprise Console release and other updates to kick in.

The certificate problem we had was a Manifest error meaning no client could update from 7.3.5 (our stable package that seemed to have expired) to the 7.6.5 new package. Turned out the internal certificate had expired and was known to Sophos, hence the date rewind or redeploy.

Just make the client less resource hungry and then it'll be sorted
