In the Macintosh world, we have available a number of
anti-virus software utilties that are free or minimal in
cost (e.g. Disinfectant, GateKeeper programs).

In the PC-DOS and compatible world, we have found no such
software. (Note: we have downloaded a copy of F-PROT,
but we have no experience with it, and we've seen very
little discussion of it, up to now).

We are currently looking at several options, including
a SITE LICENCE for the McAfee suite of anti-virus
tools. To all readers: Does your organization have
any experience with site-licensing PC anti-virus
software?

Specifically, we are wondering how much hassle
sites have encountered with administering this
kind of licence.
