Q: It sucks to each individual PC on a network with its own antivirus solution. Not only do you have to ensure that every virus will def. updates on a regular basis, but there are always new users who do not know what to do when they know what to do with an infected email.
I know there are solutions at the gateway to all incoming and outgoing e-mail can scan you asked SMTP port, allowing for a central location for virus fight infection. Ive also heard of another scenario, where e-mail POP3 server of your ISP service to another server, which then scans the email, and if it is clean, send it to your computer.
Just curious what people familiar with it and what looks best. Thank you.
Best Answer: It is a rogue anti-spyware program similar to the well known XP Antivirus rogue application.
Download and install SmitfraudFix

After you download and install restart your PC in safe mode with networking

Double-click on the SmitfraudFix.exe icon then follow the screen instructions. Option #2 should be selected in this case.
When you are prompted with “Do you want to clean the registry ?”, simply answer “Y”.
While in safe mode you should download, install and run a full scan with Malwarebytes

Re:If you already have something Corporate AV installed, you can set up a managed environment. All virus alerts will be sent to the console and the Admin can take care of it from there. The Admin can run scans on clients, push defs, etc all from one centralized console.
I also suggest something at the perimeter to scan incoming traffic, an appliance would be able to handle that. All depends on the size of the environment.
Re:I use Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition for all the clients. It installs a client on all the machines and downloads the updates automatically. It then pushes the updates to the clients automatically. They don't even realize that its happening. Works great. I also run the Exchange plugin and it scans all the email and takes care of that. It wasn't very expensive maybe $1500 for 50 users. I work in a small office. Anyways I like it very much.
Re:I don't deal much with the virus solutions.
But I will tell you that even though we scan every e-mail on every mail server internal and external…out incoming mail is routed through frontbridge.
can't be too careful.
<—knocks on wood…haven't had an e-mail virus in over 4 years.
Re:I like Trend Micro's products personally. We use pretty much all of their enterprise-class products. They are awesome.
Routing your mail through a provider like Postini or FrontBridge is a good solution as opposed to doing AV+Spam filtering in-house. If you dont keep email AV filtering on the mail server in your network, at least run something on the client-side that filters POP3/SMTP or Outlook Exchange Inboxes. Trend will do this, as should most others.
Spidey: Have you guys seen the new OSCE 6.5 beta? Been working REALLY well for us.
Re:Trendmicro has been working really well for us for many years.
The clients automatically update themselves from a central server we have.
every server (not matter what it does e-mail, app, file/print) also updates itself as soon as a new pattern/engine version is released. I belive most of the big 3 do this as well.
for inline scanning of ftp, http, nntp, etc the ositis appliances work well for us.
If you're serious about stopping virusus then you will use a "defense in depth" strategy that scans every place a virus could execute. which means at the bare minium on all pcs and servers.
