With all of the choices for AV (and other security components), which one do you choose? My company (a Fortune 200 Manufacturer) uses Trend Micro OfficeScan with good results. We have it running on all Windows boxes throughout the country with good success. We use both the AV and firewall features. You can't really go wrong using any of the top vendors. They all have their pros & cons; sometimes you just need to go with your gut (or whoever gives you the best price). Of course, check-out the trade rags for their opinions. I also use a resource call The Info Pro (http://www.theinfopro.net/). They provide independent ratings of vendors based on surveys and interviews. They have Symantec #1, McAfee #2, & Trend Micro #3. Hope this helps. RonW Eric,
