Thx. I talked to Trend Micro today. Apparantly they have a new SMB version instead Officescan. With that form I have a good testing base :-) -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Bartow Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 4:16 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Mcafee Viruscan Central slows downclosingform from1to 40 seconds. Hi Erwin, After having many issues with Symantec's NAV and McAfee AV I have moved all of my business clients to CA over the last 3 years. My SOHO users run AVG AV and CounterSpy. I have one small office with Trend Micro's Security Suite and while we haven't had an issue with the AV component we have with others. That's probably not worthy of discounting it thought because the owner of that business is a "tinkerer" and could have caused the problem. I seriously considered Sophos which seems to be pretty solid but there was no support/sales channel in this region - other than that you might consider it) They bundle with SpySweeper now for anti-spyware and that is somewhat of a RAM/CPU intensive application, CounterSpy is much better. You might also consider Avast AV. Many of these products can be used on a trial basis to determine if they'll meet your needs. HTH and good luck! John B. PS: In this area many home users can also use CA's AV under the guess of AT&T/Yahoo's online security suite. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
