GTwannabe 0 Posted March 2, 2002 Unfortunately, I don't have any say in what software is installed on the computers here. The school has been using Mcafee since before I started working here. The older systems were rolled out w/ 4.0, the newer ones have 5.0 in the image, and the new lab machines are all corporate ed. I agree with your statement about mixing consumer and business software. Bad idea! Share this post Link to post

Bad idea! Ahhhhh, so we are looking at more bad administration (at least in the image build) than anything else. If you go here, and select "Product Upgrades", you will be greeted with a request for your grant number. Enter that, and you will have access to the software that you are licensed to get. You will not see 5.x or 6.x in there as they are consumer edition, and some really nice utilities to work with for installer design and administration. Check it out sometime.

DosFreak 2 Posted March 4, 2002 Come on Clutch. Just looking at this: http://www.cert.mil/antivirus/mcafee.htm gives me a nauseous feeling in my stomach. While looking at this: http://www.cert.mil/antivirus/symantec.htm makes me feel good! Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted March 4, 2002 Ummm, I guess I am missing something, because while I see the downloads I don't see the point you are driving at. I see that they don't have the newer policy deployment applications on there. Also, what's up with the multi-file downloads and all those builds of the Exchange virus scanner? I mean I know that MS adjusted the API for Exchange 2K with SP1, but I don't recall the other vendors needing that many builds. Share this post Link to post
