Re: Antivirus Solution

We are using Computer Associates Etrust Anti-virus and just added their Pest
Patrol, Enterprise Edition. Their products seem pretty great - we have had
zero problems in the three years we've used it and I think maybe only one
infection, due to spy ware. Highly recommend them. The console is a little
bumpy to use but useable and they are improving it.
