Default Good malware program?

Can you IT guys recommend a good malware program that can be pushed down from a central source?

Right now the network has Symantec installed but most problems are solved with malwarebytes. I was thinking of purchasing malwarebytes for 100+ machines but they don't have push down via server so it will be tedious to configure for each workstation. Thanks. h:

Symantec av right now, renewed for a year. Malware is becoming a problem and becoming a hassle having to manually scan with freeware malwarebytes. h:

We use a program called Deep Freeze by Faronics Labs on all of our computers coupled with ESET NOD32.

It's pretty much amazing.

If you plan on going that route, you can also look at Microsoft Steady State. not as pretty as Deep Freeze and no central management console, but does basically the same thing, and it's free h:

but your users might really hate those options h:

They may hate a "frozen" state, but it's what's best for IT Management .
