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 :-)

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.
