I read this earlier today and passed it on to my management to chew on. Unfortunately, Avira doesn't have a good enterprise solution and can be put on Linux and Macs.
Cliff... out Computer Security Team and our Baseline Committee has deemed that all systems that can access the same files need to have the same protection and, if possible, be centrally managed. So yeah....
I've been really happy with AVIRA, especially in comparison to AVG I was using before. I don't know about the quantitative difference in resource use, but it definitely seems like it makes less of an impact.
I normally don't go to the type of places that would get me infected, and I used to not have AV software at all. Glad I had it yesterday when I got in a hurry and clicked the wrong link (for census data, of all things), and AVIRA caught some malware.
I dearly wish Ohio State would stop using McAfee. It slows down the lab computers (2.4 - 2.8Ghz P4s with either HT or DC) to a crawl.
Avira is nice, installed on all machines I work on that don't have A/V solutions (non enterprise) Linux support would be cool, I would love to see it, as in many machines running dual boot (win/linux) it would be sweet to be able to scan windows from linux.....
