Anti-Virus

What anti-virus are you using for your companies PC's? I currently have AVG on all and the contract just expired. Trying to convince my higher ups to let me remove it and go with SCCM end point protection since it would be free. What are yall using. We absolutly need it because we have special users that like to click exe's in emails.

I can tell you that my company uses McAfee and I hate it. It pretty much blocks everything that any user tries to do and generates way more support calls for me than it would if we had no anti-virus installed at all!!!

Has your organization not tuned it properly?

We use McAfee as well - but like most places it's used for its offering of a suite of tools and ePO management, not because it's the best malware solution. In the actual detection of malware I'd say it does a fair job. Ultimately the amount of commodity malware in the environment has very little to do with how good your A/V is anyway.

We user SCCM end point protection here at my current job, works well. I personally like the McAfee ePO suite, with all that HBSS stuff included.

We use McAfee ePO with VirusScan Enterprise. We recently moved over from using the McAfee Total Protection SaaS product. ePO works reasonably well. It requires some fine tuning and I'm not terribly fond of the console but it gets the job done once you figure out McAfee's logic.

FEP integrated with SCCM. Updates go through WSUS/SCCM as well. The protection itself is actually pretty good without being a resource hog or noisy, and the fact that we don't need a whole separate system to manage it is great. Everything I touch is in SCCM, which I spend most of my life in anyway. You will not be disappointed, IMO. And frankly, I cannot see a diligently performed justification for any other product if you already have the licenses to get FEP with SCCM.

SCCM endpoint here as well. Seems....alright. I feel like some malware is caught by other scans and then endpoint protection identifies it also...but no real complaints.

Just got rid of Fore Front and deployed Symantec Endpoint 12 to the company. Pretty polished product.

We get AVG and Kaspersky and offer our clients their choice of the two plus Malwarebytes.

Symantec Endpoint here. It doesn't seem to catch many things imo. I usually use Malwarebytes and while that scan is running, THEN Symantec messages pop up saying it's found and quarantined objects.

At our company we use F-Secure to protect our client's PC's and it seems to be doing the trick but in a few months we will be moving to avast.

We also use FEP/SCEP/SCCM/whatever-they-call-it-now. It's OK....much better than EPO was, that's for sure. And MUCH cheaper too.

ESET Endpoint Protection. I have it on 1200 computers and it works great.

I really don't care about what it doesn't catch, since you can never win with that anyway. Might as well stick to what you DO have control over. Cost, ease of use and system performance.
