eTrust Virus Scanner

[Kyle Harris]

I have been looking into pricing on different virus scanners and I have
found something that I think others might be interested in.  First, it
should be noted that I have not yet used this software.  I believe they do
have a downloadable demo on their web site that I am about to check out.
However, what is interesting is their pricing.  I just got off the phone
with someone at CA and have the following deal on their eTrust Antivirus
7.0 software.  I think it beats just about everything else I have seen, at
least on price.  Here is the deal:

1 - 5 node license of eTrust Antivirus 7.0 w/3 year support @ 19.95 per
license for a total of $99.75
1 - Media Kit $13.95

(Note:  This is an upgrade price.  They gave it to me when I told them I
was currently using another product.  This is also what they call
their "corporate open license" (at least I think that is what she called
it).  It is a little better price than the retail version plus it includes
the 3 year support.

TOTAL $113.70 plus tax, and S&H.

Here is the best part.  The software runs on just about all versions of
Windows, Linux, Netware, Mac, & Sun Solaris.  Furthermore, it includes a
version for Exchange Server & Lotus Notes.  Plus many others.  I confirmed
with the sales person that I can load one copy on my Exchange Server (no
cost per client), one copy on my Linux box running MailScanner, one copy on
my Server (again, no per client cost), and two others.

I get any upgrades that may come out for three years and all virus
signature updates for life.  Plus I believe Julian just added support for
this product to MailScanner.  Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!  I'm am
curious if anyone has any bad expierences with this software.
