At my business, we have 4 Windows 2003 Servers with 28 clients running XP Pro. We are running McAfee Virusscan Enterprise and McAfee GroupShield for Exchange. The renewal is up soon & I am checking out my options. The Alert Manager has had issues with the servers & I just am not sure how comfortable I am with it. My computer tech has suggested SOPHOS. HE has several using it & feels it is better. Can anyone help me with their opinions? THX!

Norton. Faster, No FP, Great support, High detection.

Mcafee, on the other hand, ranks consistently in the middle of the pack.

Thanks TechOutsider! Have you heard of the Sophos?

Norton is not fast. In fact, it is the SLOWEST av i have come across and not just when i am scanning. but apart from that i cant comment about business avs

I must disagree. What version of Norton did you use and how's your computer? The 2009 release is just around the corner and they plan to make it "the fastest security product in the world, hands down".
