I hav almost 50 workstations connected to INTERNET. Should I install firewall? or just an anti-virus program? if i should install anti-virus, where will i put? should be in the client side or in server? Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted January 4, 2001 Firewall and Anti-Virus software perform 2 different tasks. In general, I would recommend both in some fashion. In my case, I use the NAT functionality of my router as a firewall for my network, and McAfee Netshield on my Win2K AS box, and ViruScan 4.5 on my Win2K Pro and NT4 boxes.

Impala SS 0 Posted January 5, 2001 IMO, put the firewall and anti-virus on the server and then anti-virus software on the workstation. For best results both firewall and anti-virus should be used on all computers. I'm refering to software based firewalls in the above statement. In my setup, the Linksys router is used for NAT/firewall for my network. Since the computer used to post this response downloads many files from the net a software firewall and anti-virus is used. I use Tiny Personal Firewall and VirusScan 5.1 on Win 2000 Pro (beta SP-2). Share this post Link to post
ancker 0 Posted January 13, 2001 I reccomend Black Ice for Firewall..It's the best i've ever used...and will only use it now. And I recommend SOPHOS for Antivirus...It's simply the best...Awesome networking capabilities...(automatically upgrade your whole network's virus def's from one console.)

INFERNO2000 0 Posted January 15, 2001 I'm slightly surprised that no one mentioned ZoneAlarm. I personally use ZA Pro(parents use regular ZA)...and have had good luck with it. however...I would assume this to be geared more towards workstations than servers... ZA is free. ZA Pro is free too, if you have friends I'm running W2K AS as well... for AntiVirus...Norton's Corporate Edition is working well on this machine. Share this post Link to post

lexluthor 0 Posted January 23, 2001 if your company will allow it get a hard firewall. deprogram the outbound router and let the firewall do all the filtering. computers are better than routers at doing that anyway. Share this post Link to post
Hornet303 0 Posted January 23, 2001 I use NAT in Win2k Server for my firewall, which is pretty good. For antivuris, I use NAV corporate edition. I find that works well when rolling out new DAT files to all the workstations. But the best anti-virus software I own is NAV for Gateways (exchange, notes, and the such).. I run a NT4.0 Server with Exchange 5.5 and NAV for Gateways has stopped VBS virii a few times that would hvae set us back a day trying to get rid of that **** . Whenever I recieve a notice that somone sent us a virus, I email that person and recommend they get Nav for gateways. Jeff Share this post Link to post
