We currently have AVG Business antivirus paid using what they call cloud console to manage it.

80 endpoints

My main complaint is its a fight to get it working every single time we get a new device. Currently have two laptops sitting on my desk that are totally refusing me. "Install successful" yet nothing is installed.

Hi everyone, I'm currently looking for the right antivirus software for a small business with about 20 employees. A key thing we need is solid admin control to make sure antivirus protection is active on all our systems. We really want a solution that notifies us if the software gets turned off or uninstalled, and it would be great if it could automatically fix those problems too. If you guys have any suggestions lmk!

It will get deployed on a few servers, but mainly domain laptops and some desktops. Many of these are working from home so automatic updates is important. (all windows based)

Any details as to why you liked your suggestion would be appreciated.

The company I work for swapped to Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection by Teamviewer, and its alright, no big complaints. There are a lot of options available so I was just curious what you guys think.

For context: 100 Endpoints (will increase), 1 Remote Location (soon to be 2), Budget is undecided as of yet.

Also yes EDR.

Hi All

Ive been given the task of finding an Endpoint Protection platform as we are moving away from ESET.

Does anyone have any immediate shouts in terms of recommendations or any ones to avoid?

I'm leaning towards Sophos, but also think I lack experience in AVS to accurately decide for myself what the best solution is, thus asking the community! We also looked at SentinelOne, but. I found the demo incredibly confusing, but that might be a 'me' issue.

500 pcs roughly, all Windows :)

What would you consider the best enterprise edr with some form of centralized management?

I've been siloed to working with Kaspersky in the past but I am curious what's the latest and greatest out there in the market. Lets hear some thoughts?

Some details: 250 User base, large graphic use (i.e AutoCAD, Solidworks).. Open to both on prem and cloud solutions (Sophos I know!!)

We currently need enterprise antivirus, and we currently have CrowdStrike PoC.

Our criteria are that it does not interfere with product development, namely, that devs do not have CPU problems, which is often the case with antiviruses when compiling build.

Another goal is to protect against ransomware.

Ideally, our goal is to protect our source code from leakage. Various groups from Russia (not APT) periodically try to hack into us because of our political position, and they manage to do it because of our missconfiguration.

Personally, I like Crowdstike, but I think it's just against situations where an APT group wants to hack you. In our situation, the attacker is not a nation-state, but it's not script kiddies either.

I also can't fully explain to the CEO why we need CrowdStrike, which will cost our organization a lot.

What antivirus/EDR you choose and why and how did you explain to your management why they should buy this or that antivirus?

I'm taking care of about 35 users, 3 different locations via site-to-site VPNS plus users on laptops. I used to install AVG free but now its basically adware tricking people into pro, so bitdefender has been my go-to AV recently. I've been looking at the enterprise bitdefender endpoint because it supports remote admin plus remote install. What does Reddit prefer? Open to all suggestions or any helpful comments, I'm not going to rush this purchase this is just the first week of my research and I'm asking my sysadmin bros who have probably already researched and made a decision. :D

I'm currently thinking of replacing both my personal home antivirus and my business antivirus because they seem to be taking up too much resources. What do you use at home and in the office, and why do you choose that particular antivirus?

Hello, I am just wondering what you guys would recommend for an antivirus for a business of 20 people? I know most of you will work at companies with far more users, but this is a relatively small business.

On my own personal PCs throughout the years I have used AVG, Avast but more recently I only use Windows Defender with Windows 10. I had thought it did the same job as AVG or Avast.

Do you guys think this is enough for the PCs in my workplace or should I install AVG etc. on them? From what I can see you have to pay for an antivirus, which is fine we don't mind paying, but if Windows defender is good enough I will stick with that.

I have requested a preview of Microsoft for Business which is rolling out this year so I will subscribe to that I think.

" Starting March 1, Microsoft Defender for Business is generally available in the Microsoft 365 Business Premium suite - learn more. Microsoft Defender for Business as a standalone solution is in preview and customers and IT partners can continue to request access to the preview. Learn more about the preview and sign-up process in the Technical documentation."

Hi

1. Are there any effective free antivirus solutions suitable for an enterprise with approximately 40 PCs?

2. Should I opt for a centralized antivirus solution (installed on a server) or deploy individual antivirus for each PC?

3. Can a centrally managed antivirus provide protection against a ransomware attack?

Like the title says, we are a small company (healthcare) and they've been using avast for years, but I literally can't find a good reason for us to keep it around. It hasn't caught anything major in the time that I've been working here, and only draws our attention away from other things by giving false positives. Not to mention their support also sucks, fwiw.

What are you guys using? There's got to be a better way right?

So we have had some trouble recently with a few viruses on our Work Pc and we only have some Basic Avira AV installed right now. It seems that somewhere there is a Virus on our Network which has now spread to our Linux CentOS Server and apparently it has locked the files. What can we do to get rid of the Virus and what can we do to protect our Computers from further attacks. I was naïve thinking that a basic home AV could protect a Business and its Server. We have around 10 Computers right now but will probably expand. Since I have no prior experience in this field i´d very much appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance :D

Thanks for the Advice and Support :D

So i unplugged the Computers that seemed infected and we contacted a IT Firm. They told us to take the Computers there and they will check them out and find out whats wrong.

I'm currently using McAfee Epolicy 4.6 with Virus Scan Enterprise 8.8 and I want to look at alternatives. I find the detection rates extremely low for my workstations and servers. The Helpdesk is also using other tools to remove viruses than McAfee and it feels like a waste.

What is everybody using for their corporate anti virus? I have about 300 workstations and 250 servers. I already have a different solution for email protection so that is not needed.

EDIT: I also have about 15 Linux servers and 25 Mac workstations.

I bought a new computer. What are the best antivirus programs? Should I get a lightweight or full version?

Which antivirus do you recommend and why?

Considering replacing an Enterprise's AV and looking for recommendations. Something that does well on workstations s and servers (windows and Linux).

Mostly looking for recommendations and thoughts on the various vendors. How does Cylance, Crowd Strike, Carbon Black, and the other new AV vendors do in the space? Anything you've had specifically do really well without meaningfully impacting the business?
