Re: Anyone using AVG8 on their SBS box? Need some advise on which version.

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



For Trend you should look into Client/Server Messaging Security for SMB.

The difference in the management console between AVG and Trend is that Trend uses a web interface instead of Windows application. You can install remotely to your client machines without needing to involve your users (same as AVG)

If the computer has another antivirus program installed (e.g AVG), Trend will uninstall it and install it's own agent. I think the content filtering options (in the email component) is more extensive in Trend than AVG. AVG's new Web Shield and LinkScanner on the client side, is pretty cool (inspects the links on a page and validates whether they are legit or spoof). The drawback is that it slows down the pages a bit.

I haven't done extensive comparison, I just thought of posting a couple of things that just crossed my mind.

Thanks for the input. I did find the SBS product on their website
after finding a features grid which showed which versions did what but
I have to say their site can be a bit confusing. It's not clear which
version does what (until I found the grid).

Trend was the other product I looked at a while back. I have used
their web based scanning as a secondary to my software based
solutions.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone on Trends products. I guess
before installing trial versions, I need to do some more research. I
was pretty set on AVG, but Trend needs to be explored.

Comments welcome.
