    It's also known av in Canada, at least where I used to study. The university's policy states that everyone who wants to use the wireless network should install Sophos, but I wasn't nuts to give up Kaspersky for Sophos that time :)

    partially joking it is not the best, but if you test Trend Micro Office Scan or 2009 it is pretty good, still a resource hog though.

    Doesn't Trend Micro have a in-the-cloud technology similar to McAfee Artemis?

    I believe they have one of the better enterprise back-ends. My company uses McAfee, the client isn't great but the back-end is superb and thus is wins the money.

    If you want to win a business you need a great back-end more than a great client.

    On that point, malware can block any AV from updating.

    But you can update your AV from an usb stick, in-the-cloud needs an internet connection :rolleyes:

    Thats one of the points. Also, traditional heuristics/behavior analysis also work when offline.
