[OPLINTECH] Staff Computer Protection?

[Chad Neeper]

This (http://www.av-comparatives.org) site may be of interest to you. It's
an independent organization that compares the various AV software out there
and periodically produces a rankings report. It's been a year or two since
I last looked at the rankings, but at that time the biggest commercial
enterprise level (with a central command console) AV software pretty much
all ranked about the same. None really stood out in detection rankings.
Might be a good resource for you to reference.

Also, if you're having problems and if you don't customize your scan
settings, you might consider reviewing them. The defaults for SEP (and
probably others) aren't necessarily providing the best protection. I
usually tighten SEP up quite a bit after installation as a matter of course.
