I am the IT person at work. I am currently using Symantec as our antivirus software. Well guess what it blows~~ ALot of virus's dont get caught.. The ones that do norton is unable to do anything to them..

I ran Panda's active scan.. and I also ran Trend Micro's Houscall on line scanner.. Well to my dismay it caught numeruos virus'es on one of the PC's..

Now my question is. Which Antivirus system do you recommend as a client solution?

:thumbsup:

Thats a tough question. A lot of people kapersky and other like Trend Micro.

I use AVG, becaues its free and im not using it commercially.

Maybe some other corporate IT users can give us their opinions.
