Antivirus Software

Forefront and SCEP are used in our organization as a centrally managed virus and malware detection system. The clients in conjunction with the back end server provide excellent protection across our groups. The definitions are updated constantly, and we have had very few major incidents since the adoption of this new platform.

SCEP is a light weight client which is minimally impactful on the user end.
Forefront's management console provides excellent monitoring and reporting.
Setup and configuration is very easy.

Malware detection is not quite 100%. We have to use a secondary program occasionally.
On low ram and weak CPU systems scanning can freeze the machine.
The same reporting tools that are on the console version, aren't on the client.

Less turnaround on virus based issues.
Helps reduce malware issues over time.
Can breed overconfidence in the system, so people don't always try a second tool.
