Subject: Microsoft Forefront
Good morning,
We are looking into switching from Sophos to Microsoft Forefront. Has anyo=
ne made the switch to Forefront, and if so, what has been your experience w=
ith this as an antivirus product? Do you notice an increase in malware inf=
ections or anything else noteworthy? I would be interested to have this di=
scussion via e-mail or otherwise with anyone who has been using Forefront f=
or a while now.
Thanks,
