Re: Which Anti_Virus should I choose?

["Jimi Thompson" <jthompson link com>]

If you want client side or server side (especially for Ex*****) then you need to look at
Trend.  Unlike Norton and McAfee, Trend doesn't cause problems with apps, hose your Ex***
server because it's trying to apply updates WHILE it's scanning the mail store, and it
tends to be updated rather more frequently than the other two.  The downside to Trend's
loveliness is that it also costs more than either of the other choices.

Another quite good and often overlooked desktop client is Panda.  IMHO it is much faster,
especially with incoming email than either Norton or McAfee.

HTH,
