Central Anti-Virus For Small Business?
rduke15 writes "I'm trying to find a centrally managed anti-virus solution for a small business network, which has around 20 Windows XP machines with a Linux server. It is too big to manage each client manually. However, there is no no full-time IT person on site, and no Windows Active Directory server — just Linux with Samba. And the current solution with Symantec Endpoint Protection seems too expensive, and too complex for such a simple need. On the Linux server side, email is handled by amavisd and ClamAV. But the WinXP clients still need a real-time anti-virus for the USB disks they may bring to work, or stuff they download from their personal webmail or other sites. I'm wondering what others may be using in similar situations, and how satisfied they are with it."
Uh, Linux bro. On all the workstations. That's what you were supposed to say.
Sheesh. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to boot back into my XP partition so that I may run all of my expensive, legitimate software.
That's sexual harassment. And no, it doesn't matter if you work in the fashion industry.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Oh? I thought it was 'F1rst p0st!1!!!1one'
Ooooh, you are awful!

You thought my name meant what? How very dare you!
Same issue here with Symantec. I used to get angry but now I just consider it job security. Plus they gave me these really nice pills to calm me down. Oooh a unicorn!
