Linux managment of AV to protect Winxp systems


Good day.

Running SuSE Sles10 for the server and I would like to get rid of our Symantec Corporate edition that is protecting our Windows XP clients.

Can you recommend an AV that is managed on a central linux box, to protect the windows clients?

I am novice to moderate in linux skill, but new to SuSE.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The two enterprise solutions that I'm acutely aware of that can centrally manage windows AV clients are Sophos AV solution and CA's eTrust AV server. CA's solution is better supported than Sophos', although both claim to support Linux. Check Sophos' docs though, because if I remember correctly, the server software was Windows only (this was 4 yrs ago...things may have changed since then).

I once got the CA solution working on Slackware, even though they claimed that it wouldn't work on this distro.
