>I just spent the day removing the latest "Windows email virus-de-jour infection” (Badtrans) off of several client systems. A few weeks ago I "enjoyed" cleaning up a Nimda infection that had reduced a network of 25 PCs to sludge. I'm really tired of this kind of job security.

>So far, I've tried Norton, Trend, and McAfee on the workstations. The problem is that the end users forget to update their virus definition files and I don’t want to baby-sit 100 PCs. A colleague I spoke with today said that his Win2k servers were running firewall virus scanners from Norton and that it caught all of the Badtrans infection-events today. Bottom line, he spent a few minutes scanning log files and reading reports while I spent hours editing Win.ini, the Windows Registry, and booting to DOS on each machine to delete the trojans.

There are quite a few, some good, some worthless. Some GPL and/or free, some costing lots of $$$. Take your pick...
