One Virus Engine Is Not Enough
This white paper explains why anti-virus software alone is not enough to protect your organization against the current and future onslaught of computer viruses.

<sarcasm>Wow. What a nice advertisement for GFI's Mail Security program. Really appreciate the spam.</sarcasm>
Seriously, though, I think that most businesses see the need for AntiVirus products in conjuction with a firewall and possibly a server-side e-mail blocking/filtering solution. I suggest, if you're going to post something like that, provide some personal feedback on it, rather than copying and pasting the information the original poster put up. Reading a white-paper (which appears to be more of a press release than anything in this case) is one thing, but actually hearing about your own feelings on it is a lot more beneficial.

Well adven...I am not spamming. Just provided a paper written by GFI for someone to start through. I am experienced AV user with large corporate installations starting from 1000 to 35000 PC's and really you will not appreciate the words I would say for AV products.

Not to flame you or give you a hard time.. but your virii posts are more like advertisments than informitave.. If you are in such a excellent position how about giving us an insight to your experience and knowledge..
I am here to learn from the ppl who know, and with them and google and a lot of sweat I will be a better tech and admin.. end of story
And as for your link for further information at your Forum... Mate that just plain sucks.. The entries in your forum only link us back to the manufacturers own download page.. come on.. why not link the info here to where it came from and just promote your forum in your Sig..
some of the info you give there is bloody pathetic.. and a typical example of cut and paste..
Geez this flu .... I flamed him anyway. damded
I think you find nearly all large and medium sized fire will have some form of content security, reading and scanning incoming email, how ever the AV they plug into their content scanner will nearly always be the same as the what is installed on the desktops.
So to sum up most firms already have it in place and second they will generally only use one AV product in both the content scanner and there desktops.
