Title: SAV 11 for Mac??
Hi-
There’s rumblings here that we’re going to be ditching McAfee for Virus and Firewall/Application/IPS filtering on desktops for a long list of reasons. I’m privy to them, it’s just far to long to explain it all... At any rate, they’re very good points.
My question is this: has anyone used Symantec (Norton) AV 11? Last I administered SAV 10 corporate edition for Mac, it was really just the regular home user edition with a corporate sticker on it instead. There was a way to cobble together a central Live Update server, but it had to be on a Mac and was completely separate from the Windows Live Update server we ran. Apparently (at least with version 10) the DAT files weren’t the same format for Windows and Mac. Why they’d do this, I have no idea... McAfee VirusScan actually does a fairly good job on the Mac and it will integrate just fine to ePolicy Orchestrator and use the same DATs as Windows, complete with centralized pushing... It’s the one thing on the Mac here that’s done well.
I’m worried about taking a step backwards...
Thanks
