David,

I did an analysis about 18 months ago & Trend came out on top for performance and managebility. Symantec CS was 2nd followed by McAfee. All 3 work fine & each have their pluses & minues. In the long run, it depends on what pricing you can pull out of the 3 of them and what you want for manageiblity. Carrier Scan wasn't really manageable, and McAfee requires EPO to centralize the stuff. Trend comes with their management utility in the form of an Information Server. I also noticed on busy systems (this was a F760 cluster running 99.9% CIFS) that CS & McAfee performance wasn't as good a Trend...

Just curious which antivirus software, if any, folks are using on their filers out there. We're considering either Symantec or Trend's for an F820 and was wondering what people's experience with scanning filers has been like.

Thanks all, David Papas
