Answered: Best antivirus for a small business

rayboto · 11-24-2008

Hey guys, long time no post.

I was just working on a couple of my father's company's computers and they all are a mish mash of antivirus/anti-spyware programs. I thought it would be best if I was to order one program for all computers. I was just wondering if any of you would have any idea as to what antivirus/anti-spyware program would be best suited for a small business with about 15 computers.

I would highly recommend NOD32. For an all-in-one solution, ESET Smart Security business edition.

For the size of your network, I would probably say Bitdefender then Kaspersky.

Awesome. Thanks guys.

Also, what would Kaspersky be used for mainly? I read up a bit about it and I don't quite understand the jist of its purpose. Is it just another antivirus type program?

That's right. And they also offer a 'Business Space Security Suite' for up to 25 workstations/file servers by the looks of it --

Space Security offers an umbrella of protection over Linux and Windows workstations and file servers from all types of viruses, Trojans and worms, preventing epidemics, keeping information secure and fully accessible to users of network resources. The product was expressly designed to meet the increasing demands of servers operating under heavy loads.
