Please tell John to get AV

Well I'm just gonna stand on my pulpit today and preach...about AntiVirus and Spam solutions. Please keep these up to date. In the last several weeks we've had several clients come up to us and say "Hey my computer is running really slow...what's the deal??" "Is it something you did?". Nope it isn't. It's what you haven't done...keep your AV software up to date.

I had one client that we'll call John (names changed to protect the stupid) who wrote 3 pages of stuff on what his computer was doing and gave it to me. He gave me a listing and said I keep getting this **** box that says "EasyAV caused a GPF". Well let's see if you have any AV software...nope, nadda, nip, netya, nothing. EasyAV by the way is a nasty virus that was stopping his cursor and slowing everything down. How John did any work at all is beyond me.

So what do I recommend? Trend Micro's Client/Server/ Messaging Suite for SMB I think it's the cat meow with SBS 2003.

Are you running SBS and need a virus and spam filter as well? Trend does it all. It's great, downloads to the clients easily and just makes life a whole lot simpler. Go get it and don't worry John finally gave in and ordered last week as well. I guess I'll have to find something else to complain to John about now...
