My Security Story
I work for a small technical college we have about 350 permanent employees and 300 part-timers with around 5000 students and 1450 altiris nodes. We used Sophos for about 5 years and started having some real problems with the scanning functions. The scan would start and use all system resources until it finished regardless of the settings we tried to change.
