Symantec antivirus coporate edition (New version)

http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=155

 

Did you test it?

 

nop

but
i would like to know if its any good??

 

I can say to you one thing: It's much better that Norton...

When I used it, it uses less resources than Norton and it's very configurable.
The detection rate is very good, so you can test it and see if is nice to you

 

Some of our IT people have tried this on some of our "test" workstations.

Apparently they have found it to be much "heavier" than McAfee Enterprise.

They are still testing but at the present time it looks like they will be staying with McAfee.

 

i will stay with KAV then

 

If KAV works well on your system, it's better continue to use it instead of changing to Symantec

 

I received this from work last week, and I finally installed it today. I must say my system is a little bit sluggish, not like eXtendia slow or anything, but still VSE8.0i w/AS Module is so much lighter on here.
I attached a screen so you may see the usage hog, now keep in mind with VSE I usually use about 170-180MB total. Look at the Rtvscan OUCH!

It seems that this version use a lot of resources...

I don't know why they made something like this...

 

I had similar results using ver 10.0.359.0...
10 days till the corporate licenses expire; renewal is not looking to good.

 

No problem, just get the latest dual processor CPU and 2 gigs of memory, and you will not even notice it

 

When get better hardware when there are better software for lower price?

Reading from some other sources also confirm this similar situation. I don't think the added Antispyware worth this much of resources usage. Granted they don't have any thing new on the AV engine side.

No wonder why Sophos is walking through the industry like storm.

 

I installed it to do sa small test. And that was over swift... SAV made my icons for email notifying, outpost firewall, Counterspy and ewido dissapear. Immediatly after the de-install they were all back. And the pc worked sluggish to a terrible point too. And I use a 1gig machine with a Pentium IV 300MHz.

No SAV for me. NOD32 is back again

 

THERE's your problem

 

i've never seen a P4 300 mhz , that's probably a typo

 

LOL...probably meant 3,000...dropped a zero. Pentium 4 started at 1400.

Wow that's quite a jump in the real time engine....used to be around 16 megs. For my business network clients, this past year I've pretty much transitioned from Symantec CE/SBE to NOD32 Enterprise..I'd be installing Sym CE from version 7 or so all the way up to 9. Haven't worked with this new engine yet..but I am surprised at the amount of RAM use here. Wow. Guessing the CPU hit and overall performance hit is accordingly higher based on reports here.

 

Why torture yourself?

 

hihihi ... indeed 3GHz... childish

 

3GHz or 3.06GHz?

 

Theser are my usage results.

ccApp.exe................6.772 kb
ccEvtMgr.exe............2.660 kb
ccSetMgr.exe............3.796 kb
DefWatch.exe............1.720 kb
Rtvscan.exe...............21.612 kb
VPTray.exe................6.108 kb

When i first installed it I was also getting numbers like the ones mentioned here. There was a scan active under "startup scans". Delete that and I think you usage numbers will be more in line with mine.

 

It's, anyway, a lot of memory usage...

Unacceptable for me...

 

I tried Symantec Corporate and i never had a tray icon I saw it on some other PC and there was a yellow shield tray icon. Strange. Detection was however working correctly.

 

The only thing I didn't like about Symantec Antivirus Corp 10 was that it didn't support Outlook Express (no incoming scan).

 

the numbers add up to ~37MB... still less than the 55 MB that BD Pro users have reported.

And even Av-comparatives confirms that Symantec Corp has indeed become good at achieving a high detection percentage...

But the question remains whether it can 'clean' infections that it detects, yes?
