Alex Farling Managing Partner Chose Sophos Intercept X Best in class... PERIOD... Bit Defender is a good AV product by itself, but it lacks in Next Gen Heuristic detection.

Sophos is hands down a superior product when paired …  Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos I feel is a better product upon installation we had a few systems that reported threats that ESET did not catch.

Jonathan Hozeska Partner Chose VIPRE We have encountered many different anti-virus programs over the years. VIPRE combines an anti-virus program with anti-spyware to provide comprehensive protection against viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, and spyware.
