Hi,

We're looking for a new anti-virus solution for our company (14 workstations
(WindowsXP), 3 servers (1 x Exchange, 2 fileservers (all Windows 2003)).

Somebody advised me NOD32 for our workstations. Does NOD32 also have a good
Exchange solution? Do I have to choose the same solution for my workstations
as my servers? What do you consider to be the best software in my case?


Regards,
Jeroen

Many people think it's a good idea to have different scanners
on the two platform types. Then, if one misses something,
there's a chance the other will catch it.

A tiered approach from multiple vendors is considered the best. This means:

An AV solution at the gateway.
An AV solution for the servers.
An AV solution for the desktops.

Of course it can be expensive, but the approach works well.

Of what you consider, ensure that the gateway solution is capable of
scanning at least the basic protocols (HTTP, SMTP, FTP, etc.) Ensure that
the server solution is fully compatible with MS Exchange. Ensure that the
desktop solution is fast, does not require any manual intervention by the
end-user, and most important can be administered remotely.

If you had to select two of the three, I would opt for the desktop and
gateway solutions.
