Version: McAfee Total Protection for Small Business
"Great Enterprise AntiVirus with few flaws"
Pros: I have been using this product for years, since it was McAfee VirusScan ASAP, then McAfee Managed VirusScan and now McAfee Total Protection for Small Business. I am very happy with the small footprint required on client machines. This is possible as much of the reporting and some other management is located in the central online management tool. It is largely a "set it and forget it" kind of application. Once installed on the end user's computer, there is very little reason to ever touch the computer again. The antivirus updates itself and manages most detections automatically, only notifying the user of the status.
Cons: Only a few cons. First, what started as a simple, small footprint antivirus program has increasingly become a suite. The newest offering provides a minimum of AntiVirus and AntiSpyware, with addtions of Firewall and Browser protection. I personally prefer installing as little as possible, and I've been happy with just the AntiVirus/Spyware minimum (although the Browser protection is nice). My other complaint is that the AntiVirus update that happens daily has high resource usage, but only for about ten seconds.
