[aclug-L] Re: Anti-virus question

["Dan Hull" <hulldb67@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I work for Sprint and corporate standard is McAfee.  My opinion, running 
Norton Antivirus at home, McAfee at work, I think McAfee is the best of the 
two.  Every Antivirus "shootout" so to speak has declared McAfee either the 
best or very very close to the top.  Another reason Sprint uses them is just 
as you mentioned....cost.  McAfee gives a much greater break to Corps. 
buying seats in bulk or site licensing like Sprint has.
My opinion is you won't go wrong using Network Associates product, McAfee 
Antivirus.
PS. I have no vested interest in Network Associates.
