We use Trend Scanmail for our exchange server and have never been hit with a
virus in our email system over the last 3 years. That has something to say
about it.
They have a product called Emanager that is an add on that is a spam/content
blocker that works very good.
Small libraries should look at the Mcaffee E500 or E1000 antivirus solution.
It is a hardware solution that will watch your internet connection for
viruses etc.
A really excellent spam blocking product is IHATESPAM by sunbelt software.
They have a server and a workstation version for Outlook/Outlook Express. I
personally use the workstation version.
Libraries should begin to look at the new Embedded XP clients coming out on
the market for patron terminals. These units run a disk on chip that is
basically immune from getting a virus because it can't be written to once
the image is on there. HP just came out with a great unit (T5000 I think)
These units have Internet Explorer and enough room on them for plugins like
acrobat and other apps. We are currently using NetX ( www.netxinc.com
<http://www.netxinc.com> ) embedded thin clients and they have worked out
quite well. Both the NetX and the HP devices are managed using Altiris which
we have standardized on. Altiris not only lets you image these units quickly
but you can remote control and push out software changes to any client on
your network that has the altiris client on it.
One filtering company I like is Pearl Software at http://www.pearlsw.com/
<http://www.pearlsw.com/> other filters I have had recommended are
SurfControl and GFI Mail Essentials for Exchange for anti spam.
A good firewall is always a necessity. We use Watchguard here at the
library. It does have Web and SMTP filtering capability however we do not
use it due to the amount of traffic on our network.
