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

[Greg Syferd]

We use Kaspersky for our AV/Malware.  Pretty affordable and does a lot good job at keeping us clean.

Awhile back, we expanded the use of Faronics Deepfreeze in our public environment to our critical staff workstations.  We applied it to reference desk and circulation desk PCs, since they pretty much perform a single task and need to be up and running at all times.

Hope this helps!

Greg.

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,
