You have to realize that you are talking to other users like yourself, NOT Adobe Corporation. From time to time an actually Adobe person will look in here, but don’t count on it.

It would be interesting to know what if any AV software they have on the PCs they use for testing new software. Especially as problems due to AV conflicts seem to come up quite regularly.

We stock and test with all the major AV software (and I think we’re down to 4 of those).

But there are too many off-brands to test against, and LOTS of virus authors trying to convince you to buy THEIR protection….

Thought you might!

So do I. I’m trying it on a laptop with a view to switching on this machine when the current subscription runs out.

Try the NOD32 demo. Very low hit on system resouces and very good at apprehending viri. Not that I ever have any… just going by lab reports. 🙂

There’s maybe a little old testing but is still noticeable: < http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/default.asp?id=82&mn u=82>

I would like to see more details. I left Norton when a virus attacked that wasn’t profiled by Norton, so it said my system was not infected (after I defeated the "Defeat virus Check" part of the virus). Panda suspected it was a virus, so it quaranteed the virus nd my system recovered.

Will this check take "maybes" into account if detected as such?

To me McAfee has been good up to now and it’s what the company I work for uses as well.

Many large corporations use McAfee – they have some pretty good enterprise synchronization/update/policy tools.

Is the corporate version available to individuals or SOHO users though?

Just in passing…

Most large enterprises and ISPs use centralized, server-based security software that protects the entire network. Individual packages are available for virus, spam, intrusion detection and prevention, URL and content filtering, etc. And of course, combined suites of protection packages are available too.

Anything they may put on individual workstations is usually supplementary protection for files and other objects that may enter the environment through the back door — thumbdrives, CDs, or zip disks from home, for instance.

That said, testing with consumer anti viri stuff in QA is an entirely different topic under the "program interoperatability" umbrella.
