    Question AV Recommendations

    I am using a win2k box as a gateway and firewall machine for my LAN. Can anybody recommend an antivirus prog for it? I have NAV 2000 on all LAN machines, with updated definitions, but am getting paranoid about the viruses doing the rounds at the moment.

    Thanks in advance.

    NAV Corporate 7.5 seems to do a nice job, even will update the client machines as long as they too are 2k/NT

    Yeah, I agree with Auric. Seen NAV Corporate, McAfee MC and Trend in action, all good products, but I still prefer NAV, although Trend comes in a close second (I think so, @ least).
    No matter what AV scanner you go for, the most important rule: UPDATE THE DEFINITIONS!

    I prefer Trend. Nav has disappointed me over the years, and uses more resources to run the background scan. (On Win98 anyway)

    But I think Trend has a better engine, and better updates.
