[OPLINTECH] PC Security Shield Virus Protection Offering

[Jeff Franklin]

The price difference between PC Security Shield Virus Protection and
Symantec Corporate Edition Antivirus is considerable, in strong favor of PC
Security.  Does anyone have an opinion about the difference in quality, ease
of use, and, most notably, virus protection between the two products?  Lower
cost is good only if the product works well.

Thanks

PC Security Shield Virus Protection

One of OPLIN’s primary duties is to ensure the security and integrity of its
network. Part of this job includes the prevention of spreading computer
viruses. We do take steps to protect the OPLIN e-mail server from virus
propagation. However, this is just one step in protecting the OPLIN Intranet
as a whole. To continue to move towards complete protection, OPLIN needs the
help of each individual library.

OPLIN can only try to protect the outer borders of the Intranet; it’s up to
each library to protect its own sphere. OPLIN does not endorse any one
Anti-Virus product, but believes that it is vital for libraries to have an
AV product that’s up-to-date. With increased network security in mind, OPLIN
has reached out to several AV providers in an effort to help libraries save
money and protect their own individual local area networks. OPLIN is pleased
to announce that it has been able to negotiate a great price for virus
protection with PC Security Shield. The pricing matrix and other product

fits your needs. OPLIN does not require you to purchase from any specific
vendor. Likewise, if you are able to obtain the same product from another
trusted vendor, please feel free to use your own contacts.

OPLIN is working with other Anti-Virus vendors to provide additional options
for your library. Watch for more e-mails from us and monitor
