Do any of these packages offer some kind of administrative
console for central management/monitoring of systems?

second the bloatware comment. We here have never been big fans of
either Symantec or McAfee for this exact reason (anyone ever had to fix a
machine that had Norton SystemWorks installed?). Over here we use
F-Prot Antivirus and have been for about 6 years. It is a great
program for the same reasons mentioned about NOD32, especially the small
footprint. While I am not sure if F-Prot has as high of a stop
rate as NOD32, we have never had a problem with any of our PCs as long as
they had updated definitions on them. Besides the price is
outstanding in comparison. I don't have the exact numbers, but if
I remember correctly it was ~$5,000 for 3yrs for 1,200
workstations. Here is there site if anyone wants to check them
out: http://www.f-prot.com/index.html.

I won't requote prices since Peter has done an excellent job
of that
already. :-) Unlike many antivirus products
(especially Symantec) which
have turned into what I call "bloatware"
using up a ton of RAM, NOD32 has a
small footprint and is very
configurable. It also updates daily, sometimes
more than
once. I second Peter's wish that MSU would negotiate reduced
rates with Eset.

Margaret
