Enterprise Anti-Virus Solutions

Hi Everyone.

Been using Symantec 9, when 10 came out they sent it over as part of our license deal. It doesn't work. I had very strange network behaviour on all my clients so had to remove it. I can't remove it from the server, the passwords have stopped working and so has the uninstaller. Symantec support is a joke ("please go to the Registry/C: drive/ Add/Remove Programs") and the last I heard they were contacting Apple to try to find out how to remove their software from my server. Having spent 5 hours on hold to India over the last two days I am cutting my losses and going to try manually removing the files. I may have to rebuild the entire server OS.

Needless to say, I will not be installing Symantec 10 on the new build, I will pass it over to my legal dept to seek a full refund.

Can anyone recommend an alterntative corporate antivirus solution? Please spare me the 'Macs don't get viruses' schtick, we're running a business here.

Are McAfee still good?
