We use CA e-trust for Netapp filers. Using two AV server to scan one FAS960.

The product has been very solid since installation except for Dec 2005 to Feb 7 2006. Applying some vendor supplied patches for etrust has settled the system down again. Both scanners ran flawlessly for about two years except for the months noted above. I suspect some kind of a windows update introduced the instability.

Annoyances: The scanners choke on large files - 100 meg and bigger powerpoint files - Soln. = don't scan any powerpoint files. - 400+ meg cab files (gis software) - Soln. = Exclude Cab files. These are the only two types I have had to exclude. There are no settings on the product to ignore large files.

Users receiving a Net send message when the av scanners cannot open a file. - The message reads "File is infected with _ virus." The "_" is where the name of the virus would be if the file was really infected. - disabled the net sends due to this.

Needs improvement: product could use a better quarantine system. An infected file will just disappear if quarantine is on. It moves the file to a quarantine folder but will not notify the user that it has quarantined the file.

Computer Associates need to make their patches and product updates easier to find on ca.com Takes a long time to find the downloadable updates IMHO.

Does anyone have any info on AV scan engines that are available for Netapp? We have been using Symantec but are wondering if any of the other vendors do a better job.
