[THIN] Re: Best AntiVirus for Citrix

I have had both McAffee and Symantec on Citrix server with little issue.

 

If your environment is setup tight enough, you can push the envelope and run no antivirus.  Just make sure you have every possible entry point locked up and all other servers, storage etc installed with good AV.

We upgraded to eTrust 8.x and were told by CA to exclude certain directories/files on the Citrix servers from scanning to avoid impacting performance.  I do not know if they recommended the same exceptions for 7.1.  Those exceptions are:

 

x:\Pagefile.sys

X:\program files\citrix

X:\windows\system32\spool

 

Since the upgrade we have not encountered any Citrix specific issues with the product.

I'm just about to purchase a new AntiVirus product. I am running CA eTrust AV 7.1 which is now end of life. I'm running older 2003 servers so I need an AV product that won't slow the Citrix servers down and is easy to deploy. Could go with the new 8.x version of eTrust but is there anything better? Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,
