I'm trying to find a good price on 15 anti-virus programs for my company. We're currently using McAfee, but I was thinking of making the switch to Norton (until I read some reviews on Amazon). What does everyone else use at their offices and does anyone know where to get a good price on them?

AVG (symantec)

I use their free personal edition and I've never had a complaint.

since ncsu offers symantec corporate for free, that's the only one i've really used, but i absolutely love it

Thanks for all the help so far. Looking at prices, I have a feeling the boss will want me to stick with either McAfee or Norton's non-corporate range. I use Symantec Corporate at home, but it's going to run around $40 per computer instead of $15 or so.

As long as Norton's not going to bog down a computer any worse than McAfee, I'm thinking we should change to Norton.

Trend Micro has a corporate package that's centrally managed. Are these systems in a domain setup?

Yeah, they're all under the same Domain.

symantec corporate if you can afford it. if not, kapersky or avg

3/23/2007 2:56:21 PM

Symantec Corporate
or
AVG pay version

You could run AVG Free on all the clients and AVG Pro on the server. I believe AVG Pro is $40.

Isn't it considered bad practice to use a free anti-virus in a business/professional environment?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I have been very disappointed with Norton's products recently. Installing them on machines at work has caused numerous machines to slow down to unacceptable levels, and these aren't crappy machines, mind you. I've read plenty of similar reviews, as well.

norton retail stuff = crap
symantec (norton) corporate AV = win
