Virus Prevention in the Small/Medium Business?

Posted by Cliff on Friday September 9, 2005 @06:25AM from the keeping-out-the-nasties dept.

Morti asks: "I've been asked to select a virus scanner to be installed on the network at work. It's only a small office with six Windows XP PCs, two Linux servers and any number of Windows XP laptops that random people bring in. And I'm wondering, not just in this case but generally, what is the virus scanning / Internet security solution of choice for the small business these days? Costs need to be kept at a minimum, particularly because this business is a registered charity (a church, no less). We used to have Norton Internet Security but I'm not really keen to keep it. Besides Linux (which I've been pushing but nobody's interested), what is the most cost-effective and generally 'best' virus prevention and Internet security solution for the small/medium business?"

Oy! I understand that /.ers might not always RTFA, but can't you at least read the goddamn summary? It's a friggin' paragraph, it's not like you need to be in Mensa to understand it.

Surely the Lord will keep your laptops virus free?

Thank you. I'm here all week.
