Hi Ben,
We have the Forefront EPP enabled as the default antivirus application for more than a lakh laptops. However the forefront is not properly protecting or finding many viruses. Some examples are, Police Ukash Virus, Live security Platinum, Protector etc. These infections are detected by tools like MBAM and Super antispyware etc. This tool is not that effective in catching the new malwares and trojans and blocking them.
If you have any suggestions to use this tool more effective is much appreciated.
Thanks

If you would like, take a look at CodeGuard (www.codeguard.com). It is a free for sites up to 250mb, and works by that backing up your website and monitoring it for changes (like malware injections). We are still in Beta, and would love to get your feedback. You can contact me at carson.moore@codeguard.com if you have any questions.
