Best antivirus 2015? (server and user pc)

[Necuno]

First things first:
Linux is good deterrent for 'ms viruses'
Common sense is excellent



But sometimes you can't avoid interaction via the real world and keep everything clean before it interacts with your pc. e.g. a box that is used for reviewing student work, the students need to give that work to you via email, lan and usb.

Any way this is for both the above example and something else.

What I am asking is what is the top 3 paid anti virus software I can look at. Currently my list is:

1. Eset
2. Avast
3. Trend

However looking at this makes me wonder about eset:

Of course the anti virus app needs to support outgoing and incoming mail scanning

Here is the sad part about trend and why I want something else. I can't get the damned thing to unlock, upgrade or uninstall. It needs a code and I tried changing the master, unload, uninstall and user passwords in the ini as well as the xml. It seems its tentacles has far reached into the server and client computers.

So now I'm going to start with Eset and see if its better than trend


We really need to get a sticky going on the anti-virus things so its easier to keep track

Another day another AV thread...

This why we need a sticky

So accord to the av stats page its either fsecure for business, bit defender or avira.

Bit defender seems to be no1 in all of the tests: performance, protection and usability.

I backup Eset all the way

iSheriff is strong from a managed AV point of view and when you are looking at a complete suite. The moment a company want their AV to just do its thing then Panda is a more optimal choice, this is ignoring the device management aspect which is based on CentraStage (or now Autotask Endpoint Management). If you have a company where data security is a top priority where reporting and auditing takes place on a daily basis then Sophos is the perfect option. Webroot lost its touch…

We use iSheriff as standard (or optionally) within our MSP plans.

For those which are an firm believer in Avast which wants to utilise it within the workplace, here is something to look at,

We are also using isheriff. So far so good.

Eset and kaspersky Internet security suites seem to be fighting for the top spot for a few years now.
Myself I've been using eset internet security since 2004.

With Avast since it saved me from the nasty Win32:vitro back in 2009.
