Re: Need advise about Anti-virus and firewalls.

Extensive testing in a University environment. Winner hands down with
combo AV and firewall and fast updates is F-secure. And F-secure
will not slow your system down at all.

Ha Ha Ha - testing for more than 40 machines going from Dorm rooms to a
on-campus Sorority, the only uninfected machines were the ones running
Norton Antivirus with current subscriptions. All the other machines were
running McAfee, CA, and several others that ship with name brand
computers.

Every comparison I've seen between F-Secure and Norton puts F-Secure ahead.
It finds more and gets quicker updates. I've used it for 18 months with
zero problems or infections. I have just decided to try elsewhere though as
they want the same money each year for a licence as for the complete
package, surely there should be a reduced charge? I also didn't like the
fact that you can't manually download a virus signature file for the
combined AV/firewall, you have to rely on automatic updates.

Oh man! I was just testing the entire University ... not a world class
disaster like the dorms or Sororities. We've given up on them.

I've seen that. What do they do? Turn the servers off or something?
We get reduced prices by complaining about it. They will respond
to bartering.

Actually, the Sororities, when you clean the ladies machines before they
connect, stay quite clean all year long.
