| Interesting comments guys. There are many options available both freeware and paid-for and therefore a variety of personal preferences and views. As for the freeware there's bound to be a downside somewhere in either functionality or cost to upgrade or for support when there's enough deployed e.g. that's how McAfee and many similar companies started.
We have now seen the advent of new viruses such as Sasser which permeates through internet connections.
The original idea I put to the committee was that for every person (DSC member or otherwise) taking out a subscription via a web link on the DSC site, to the netQuest service, we would pay a finders fee directly to the DSC for the club to use as it saw fit. Unfortunately this is outside of the articles and objectives of the DSC according to Henners' reply.
If it was possible for me to recieve the finders fees and then pay the DSC as personal donations, would this increase interest and have more appeal and not contravene the club's articles and objectives?
Maybe the Web Team would like to comment on the relevance of AV and PC Firewalls as an independent and respected arbiter as they regularly post Virus alerts.
Regards to all
