If I were buying AV right now for the first time, I'd go with Trend. It's
the consensus, and you'll get awesome support from others in this group who
are in situations similar to your own. However, I'm not buying for the
first time, and I use CA E-Trust Anti-Virus. In addition to a lot of
positive comments I could make about it, there is no noticeable impact on
server or workstation performance, including Exchange. I wouldn't be
surprised if that were true of Trend as well.
I don't disagree about the security in Outlook, but what about Internet
downloads or Usenet? I had a sales rep from a fortune 100 company hit me
with a virus from a diskette that had been infected at a previous sales
call - there are too many opportunites for problems if you don't run good,
constantly updated AV. You really need a centrally managed product that
covers the servers, Exchange, and the desktop computers.
