Hello Everyone:

I am interested in getting information on Antivirus Software, that offers the most protection at a reasonable price.

We run a wide variety of e-mail clients, and because there is no

antivirus filtering on the SMTP pilot server, we encounter a lot of infected

e-mail attachments.  Additionally some of my users get 25-50 spam messages a day.  It does not appear as if there is any filtering going on at the SMTP server for virus’ or for spam, so what is one to do?

The university is offering Corporate Edition which is basically a

Local file system AV system, on the other hand AV 2002 and AV 2003

scan incoming emails for most POP3 mail clients.

(NIS) Norton Internet Security 2002, and 2003 offer AV 2002 and 2003

respectively, Might this be worthwhile to purchase this to get the AV protection, and the Personal firewall, and spam alert with NIS 2003 or is this over doing it?

Appreciate it,
