Our department in the university is forever plagued with virus, so much that even we students are afraid to take notes,data,files etc from the department computers. They often do a cleanup but some one from outside will come and infect the entire computer systems again.
So the main M.R guy asked me to get a free antivirus for the department. Here are some important info
There is no reliable internet connection. Our campus WiFi is a joke. Professors have to carry their own internet dongles. SO what we have here is around 10 PCs and some laptops that wont be able to update virus definitions.
SO...
I need an antivirus that can be--
a) updated offline, like once in a while ill bring the definition files in a pen drive and update their computers.
b) doesn't REALLY need to be updated at all,as in, comes pre-installed with decent amount of definition which can catch common viruses like the autorun.inf or New Folder virus.
c) Catches the virus as soon as pen drives are inserted, ie. always ON anti virus
d) Should be free (the university doesnt feel that the 20 crore grant from UGC includes expenses on software)
