[RTC List] Choice of antivirus protection

[Kindra Waluk]

I have not seen any discussion regarding Kaspersky or Webroot's SpySweeper
with Antivirus addition in this thread which surprised me. Webroot is a nice
and easy addition to the individual computer user's software antivirus
collection simply because it is accessible, user friendly and effective.
When supporting residential customers, Webroot is cost-effective and
functional for a $10 upgrade.

Kaspersky has been a trusted favorite of mine, especially when it identifies
worms and viruses that Norton and others have missed. There is also a server
edition that works well for business operations.

There is one more option that I use if you wont a free open source AV
that will work on a windows service class OS (win2000 srv, ,win 2003,
etc...) it is call ClamWin (http://www.clamwin.com/) and is a
recompile of ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/) witch is a AV for Linux.

I have used both ClamWin and ClamAV and I have been happy with them.
