Global Reproductive Health IT Support list

["Paul Blonsky" <blonskyp AT ipas.org>]

We have Trend Anti-Virus deployed globally and have had the same problem,
it's missed several viruses in recent months (all in Africa and all variants
of existing viruses). We've deployed Kaspersky and AVG(?!) selectively to
squash the outbreaks and Trend has been very responsive when we've submitted
samples, but the fact that we're having to submit samples is giving me pause.
We've not decided to move away just yet, but we're keeping an eye on our
solution. I don't think anything is bulletproof, but Kaspersky seems to be
working well and I've used NOD32 before with good results. I don't recommend
Trend at this point. I'd be interested to hear back on your results if you
switch.

Subject: [grhits] seeking recommendations re Anti-Virus and
EndPointProtection


Hello all ...
 
Recently, several of our country offices have reported that Symantec
anti-virus has failed to detect viruses, and they've tried others that worked
betterm including F-Secure and Kaspersky.  We're noew deploying some of those
products on a case-by-case basis  
 
In this general area, we've also receioved recommendations for GFI EndPoint
Protection, and for an appliance product called Cyberoam.   
 
We'd appreciate any comments or suggestions about good or bad experiences
with these or other anti-malware solutions for country office settings.
 
Thanks!
