Hi there,
I am in an office with 8 XP machines.
Is it better to go with NAV Enterprise Edition to cover all these
machines?
Thanks,
Gordon

Have you used NAV Enterprise before? If so, did you like it? (If you
haven't used Enterprise, but have used other versions of NAV, then the
question still applies).
Personally, and I'm speaking from the standpoint of a home user with an
XP Pro machine and virtual machines with various other versions on them,
I prefer Avast! to NAV. I'm not a fan of Symantec or McAfee at all.
Although, there will be people who will reply that they love Symantec
and they love McAfee. It's just my personal opinion.
In the end, if you've used the product and you like it, then use it
again. If you've never used it, and you're looking for a solution, I
would suggest looking at all of the major brands. Trend Micro, Panda,
McAfee, Symantec. And, I would look at some of the lower-cost (aka
freeware) versions such as Avast. Then, make your decision based on
what you see.
Of the major brands, Trend Micro (PC-Cillin) is probably my favorite.
Panda is second, but it's a distant second. That's because I had a bad
experience with Panda Antivirus for home users. But, that shouldn't
dissuade you from looking into it (Right PandaMan?). The others
(Symantec and McAfee are an even distant third.
But, as I've said. This is solely my opinion based on my experiences as
a home user with a small network.

unreliable disaster they sell off cheap to the public.
If Norton/Symantec is the choice then even those who detest Norton will
likely say the corporate version is the only choice from the two versions.
I would think any of the corporate versions would be okay, and that is
probably the way to go if you want to do centralized updating to make sure
coverage stays good. Reading the specs it seems to come down to a
combination of price and "What you hear". My company uses the Trend one, it
seems to do it's updates fine, installs itself fine etc etc... what can one
say?
But as above, in your case, if it is a choice between corporate and stand
alone versions of Norton then corporate is your answer and I can contribute
that from personal experience. Stand alone I have been happy with AVG and
would certainly consider their package, but can't speak from experience of
it.
I would also consider installing BOClean on a business system, that is for
each machine though, not centralized.

I just moved a small office from Norton 2006 AV to Symantec Corp 10 with
Groupware protection.
The difference is large, the NAV2006 was bloated, worked well, but it
caused problems with one medical application. The Symantec Corp 10
version was lite, didn't conflict with it and works quite well.
The big difference, other than performance, is cost - you have to
purchase 10 licenses in order to get Corp 10 vs 5 for NAV 2006.
I run Symantec Corp 10 with Workgroup Protection on some 1000+
workstations and some 40 other servers and have no problems with it.

only have 3 desktops and (right now) 2 laptops to worry about. The only
reason I want the corp is so I can centralize things and run network wide
sweeps
