Anti-Virus for NT network

[Gepost]

I am sure this question has been asked, but any recommendations for anti-virus for my NT network? I have four servers, 35 workstations, WinProxy for Internet (with Norton Anti-virus) on the same computer. Should I use anti-virus on just the servers or all computers? Thanks in advance.

Our district has a site license for Crapafee so I have to use it but i woould never use it on any of my personal systems after seeing mcafee use 100% of cpu time for no reason at all(rebooting the machine fixes it) on 4 workstations and 2 of my servers so i use norton at home

might take a look at symantec corporate suite.

I run Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition (NAVCE) 7.5 on the network at work, it is very easy to setup and deploy. You can deploy to all of your NT boxes from one computer with the remote install option, you can also set up AntiVirus Servers, which will automatically push the latest virus updates/program updates to all of the clients under its controll. There is also another package to have it integrate into Symantec System Center (some what like MMC)

Where I work, we use Innoculan IT. It is set up that one server will go out and check for updates every hour, download it if there is one, then once a day the computers on the network check that server for updates. So far, it has caught any virus that has managed to get in.

In every production environment, I have setup and installed Symantec Norton Corporate AV 7.x for the entire network, NT, Novell, 9x, etc. The product costs less than Crapafee and is much better at catching viruses. I have never been a big fan with InnoculanIT. I have had to many issues with the product crashing the servers (both Novell and NT).

The centralized manageability with Symantec by far is the best way to go. Plus, the client software is totaly scriptable and if you have SMS, you can roll it out better than any of the other AV programs.

Let me know if you have any more specific issues/questions.
