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?"

Yes, but he won't protect you from your idiocy. Just as if you decided to swimming in NOLA right now. Your gonna get sick.. Unless of course he told you to swim in NOLA, and promised you that you wouldn't get sick.. On the other hand, I doupt God made any such promises about these computers. Maybe they can throw holy water on them.. That would make them safe, in the same way a dead man is safe.
