Free Anti Spam Software

I hear arguments about Norton and other programs, and I’m not sure which to buy now.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS, PLEASE SEND TO EVERYONE ON YOUR E-MAIL LIST!!

Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail,

AOL and so on.

This information arrived this morning,

Direct from both Microsoft and Norton

Please send it to everybody you know who has

access to the Internet.

You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled ‘Mail Server Report’

If you open either file, a message will appear on your screen saying:

‘It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.’

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC,

And the person who sent it to you will gain access to your

name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon.

AOLhas already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software’s

are not capable of destroying it.

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself

‘life owner’.

PLEASE SEND A COP Y OF THIS E-MAIL

TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to

PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

I manage a network that is made up of 1 file server running Windows Server 2003 x64 and 8 workstations running Windows XP Professional. I currently use Symantec Antivirus 10.2 and Norton Antivirus. I am thinking about switching to McAfee Total Protection. Has anyone used this product? I want to be able to manage all pc’s from one location (the file server). I’m not interested in anti-spam or firewall proctection. I already have that taken care of… just antivirus. McAfee sounds like it is cheaper and a lot easier to add additional licenses. I can purchase a minimum of 2 licenses versus a minimum of 5 with Symantec. Are there any performance issues? I know Symantec can be a memory hog. How does McAfee compare? Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I’m only interested in these two products. I’m not interested in AVG or any other type of AV. Thanks.
Yes I have checked out the TOPS service. That’s what I was leaning towards. Thanks for your help guys!

I already know of AVG and Norton isn’t good. Anything else I’m missing?

Protection against:
-viruses & tojans
-anti-rootkits
-spam
-downloads
-anti-firewalls
-and so much more

Most of the freeware out there only protects against 1 of these malware programs. And Norton expires its key within 1 year. They suck!

I’m looking for the best of best (freeware)!!!!!
