Re: Antivirus Solution

We use Sophos (www.sophos.com). I've been using them for 6 years now
and am very happy with it. The client is multi-platform (Windows,
Mac, Linux) and all is controlled by one server. Handles updates to
laptops that roam on and off campus quite easily. Very little
overhead load on the client.
