I would like to know what other universities are doing about buying
virus protection packages. We have a copy of Virex for our use but
would like to implement something in the labs. We have look at SCAN
but McAfee shareware site licences prices are exceptionally high.  The
minimum purchase is for use on 100 machines for $3250. We would
probably be better off buying just a few copies and putting them on
machines set aside for virus checking only.

Any thoughts from other university labs?
