Look at F-prot. Solid product and very fast for scanning entire drives.<br>
$50/yr for 10 licenses.<br>

Well, this was to be used on the home network so I don't need the extreme.<br>
<br>
The Windows desktops don't run their own AV because every AV I've tried<br>
always has some bloated resident component that drags down the system. None<br>
of the boxes have the horsepower for a VM so that's out. Central file<br>
server isn't here yet, I'm working on it slowly as funds permit (this<br>
requires a new machine plus disks). Until then it's just mount and scan<br>
remotely. The central scanning machine isn't a file server right now, it's<br>
just a (old) tinker box.<br>

Better process is to have a scanner on each desktop but ALL files are<br>
stored on central server. That makes each desktop a readily replaceable<br>
thing and centralizes the AV scan on the bulk of the files. Part 2 is run<br>
that fileserver as a samba server and use squid proxy and ClamAV to scan<br>
all data entering via WAN as well as email. That narrows your entrance<br>
vector to USB and optical disk infection. So unplug data cable on optical<br>
drives and disable all USB ports except for keyboard and mouse and bolt a<br>
shield around those plugs so they can't readily be removed.<br>
<br>
Best route is to use Linux boxes at the desktop running a KVM instance of<br>
Win7 with only keyboard and mouse on USB. If ANYTHING happens, toss the<br>
image and restore from backup and restart. will take about 5 minutes.<br>
