Need help with Malware protection on SAV 10.1.5.5000

[siulong2002]

I'm working for a fairly large broadcasting company and recently we've been suffering alot of Malware problem. The question i have is:

Does SAV 10.1.5.5000 actually provide real time malware protection or is there some sort of add-on im needing to purchase? Also how are the updates done in relation to the malware and what is the best way for me to check the overall health and status of malware protection on our network.

Thanks for your help

We also have some machines running 8.1.0.825. Will they be getting any form of real time scanning for Malware? They are under a SAV 10.x parent server. so they have the latest definition files but there engine is slight lower at 8.1.0.825 as opposed to 10.1.5

Yes, the older versions do real time threat protection. Note that if you are carrying maintenance (and you should be, since you're getting updates--if you're not, then you're in violation of the license) you have upgrade rights, so you can upgrade your 8.x clients to 10.x, or upgrade everything to SEP11 (which at MP4 is much better today than when it was initially released.)
