I have a small office setup, with 2 server running Linux (one is also running mail server) and 5 clients running windows (all version).

I'd like to know which Antivirus product can I implement for both server & linux, and hopefully 1 that has automatic update & push like symantec. Was told Sophos could not do the auto push to clients. How about NAI or Trend Micro? Any suggestion ?

I use Sophos in a similar arrangement. I have created a cron job that checks the Sophos update server every six hours for the latest "ide's" and downloads them accordingly. They are copied to two directories, one for the server mail scanning and one for the client PCs to update from. The clients then check the server directory for any updates and this is triggered by a "scheduled" task. The only manual part is updating the the main program every couple of months when the new CD arrives.

I can send you a copy of the script if you want.

Hope this helps. Rod.
