AV Solutions for School Corp.

I am looking for a good, yet cost effective solution for an anti virus software setup. We are a school corporation with limited funds. Currently using TrendMicro and not overtly satisfied. Ideally I would like to find an OpenSource solution. We are running MS Server 2003 R3 and have approximately 400 computers within the network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

This discussion maybe be of interest

Hi BulletSponge62485,

I use to work for PCTools and supported their enterprise product, Spyware Doctor Enterprise. I sold it too many schools. We directly competed with Trend.

I noticed they now offer it for free http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor-enterprise/download/

They have a decent AV package too but Im not sure if its enterprise ready or not.

btw, If you buy from them, tell them you want a 25% discount for schools
