accessible server based antivirus software
Has anyone found an accessible server based antivirus package? I tried avg internet security sbs edition as a demo. the admin console seems to be a nice package, but it crashes when attempting to access it with any version of jaws. it comes back with a really helpful message, "something really bad happened" contacting the vender just got me a form email saying they are working on the problem. I also tried windoweyes which doesn't have the crashing problem, but it would require scripts or set files to work properly which I am not qualified to develop. I am not impressed by symantec for a number of reasons. any other packages that I should look at? I want to be able to manage it from a server, pushing out virus deffinitions to clients, perform scans on clients from the server, and view the resulting reports. Thanks Phil

I've got the NOD32 enterprise edition on our 2003 server and I can get
through it with Window-eyes about 80%. I'm not completely happy with the
remote admin console. I can setup the configurations and push installs
just fine, but have some accessible issues with scans from the server and
reports. I typically Have to go to a work station for running a scan and
viewing the report. I also have to use their 2.7 client software because 3.
0 is far less accessible.
I think when our next renewal period approaches, I'll take a close look at
Sophos. Andrew, could you pass on any web or phone contact info on this
product?
Thanks.

How long ago did you try the AVG SBS edition? I tried it back in march and it did exactally what you describe but I tried it again this past week with the latest build of both AVG and JFW and it worked and is now on my SBS 2003r2 domain controller and ws2003 member server.

From the little i read so far about sophos, it looks interesting. I attempted to read some documentation i downloaded from their site , but unfortunately, it is all flash. I'll download a trial version and install it on my test server to see what it can do.
I tried it about a month ago. i'll take another look.
thanks
