We use Trend Micro's Server Protect on our file servers. Can barely tell it's running. Only issue I have ever had with it was that it did it's job TOO well. (Grin) There was a discussion on OT about viruses, and I had a copy of the ILOVEYOU virus on Floppy. Since I run 2000 Server, our normal office scanner (Trend's OfficeScan) won't run on my machine, so I'm part of the ServerProtect Cluster. I put the disk in, and when to open it in notepad, to paste the contents (safe, had removed the scripting tags) into an email, and blip, the file disappeared off of the floppy. Took me a second to realize that by opening it, ServerProtect was triggered to read it, saw it was a virus, and deleted it (actually, it archived it.....) hehehehe Had to shut down serverprotect to do what I needed to do!

I keep a special stick to poke network guys who insist on scanning ldb and mdb file types among others. Scanning a 300MB file on-access can bring things to a grinding halt.
