[OPLINTECH] Inquiring about security/antivirus software for staff computers

[Chad]

We are using Avast enterprise for all computers (staff and patron). The 
software, last i knew, was free for libraries through Avast's educational 
program.

We recently upgraded our wireless with Ubiquity wireless access points and 
couldn't be happier.  The range is excellent and we were able to repurpose 
our prior linksys as just a dhcp server by turning off the linksys' 
wireless radios. Also, the management software is free and can be run from 
any computer connected to the same wireless segment.

Good Morning to everyone,

I have recently came across a dilemma that we are having with the staff
computers at our central library and the branches. Even though we let the
staff browse on the computers where they would like to we're still having
trouble with the staff computers becoming infected with spyware and viruses
with Microsft Security Esstentials installed. I know this is a good free
antivirus, but it isn't doing the job anymore. Currently I have Trend Micro
Worry-Free Business Standard Security at my residence and have no problems
at all. Was wondering what all of the other IT people are setting up on
their staff computers to keep them clean?



   As a side note, our wishlist is going to be due to try to get extra
equipment for the libraries. Was wondering what printers and wireless
routers people have gotten to upgrade theirs recently. Currently we just
have Cisco Linksys WRT54G which has a very poor coverage and distance from
main unit is pitiful. Just want to say thanks for all the feedback given for
this and have a great weekend.



Thanks again,
