Re: Antivirus Recomendations?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I believe you can do a log query, and you can also generate reports with the same information.

However, I don't believe in scheduled scans. Real-Time scanning means files are scanned on all read/writes. If real-time scanning can't do the job, I don't want the product.

Manual scans are fine, there are sometimes good reasons to kick off a scan manual scan - but that's different from a scheduled scan.

But I could be missing something, so feel free to change my mind.

A while back I switched two clients to TrendMicro SBS package. That was
before I found out that there is absolutely no indication that a sheduled
scan has run (unless it reports a virus). I think it's essential to have some
visibility when the scan starts, when it ends to verify that it is indeed
running on all pc's. It's just to easy for a pc to have a problem with
running the scheduled job and you never find out because there is no
TrendMicro log of the normal runs and there doesn't appear to be anything in
the system event logs. I won't be recommending this product because you just
don't know if the scheduled job ran during the night.
