We performed a similar test. I would recommend including Sophos in your testing. They like to wheel and deal, have a good product and have been very responsive with regard to support. The testing we ran had Sophos, McAfee and Symantec very close in performance and detection. The management piece is what sold us. In your testing, I suggest including an enterprise management comparison. Ronald King Security Engineer Norfolk State University Marie V.

I will probably be testing NOD32,McAfee and Kaspersky but rather than having to trust in third-party AV reviews , i would like to conduct one myself.I've googled it and I found a basic model as a reference.Any recommendation to do this? Some of the parameters to be measured: load on cpu and mem, detection effectiveness,administration console,antivirus & malware functions.Specially on this last parameter,i wonder how accurate this malware detection is when having to deal with thousands a obscure phishing sites of a bank in the other side of the world? I'd appreciate any comment on the above mentioned AV. Thanks, Reflect On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 6:17 PM, Eric Case<ecase () email arizona edu> wrote:
