Re: What security package for SBS?

Throw in a second nic and you have a firewall.. even a Linksys is preferable to using the built in firewall in the a/v sofware.

I use the XP and Vista firewalls on the desktop and use two nics and Linksys at home.

I agree with Claus on Trend but disagree with you on the Firewall issue. Get a separate Firewall and don't rely on your AV product for firewall protection.

I recommend Trend 3.6 for all my Clients. I disable the Personal Firewall and use ISA or External Firewall Appliance.
