I am looking for a REALLY good AV program for Mac that can be run on a server and scan multiple external drives.
We have a massive infection of Virii on our system, and they are all the Word Walker Virus embedded into word documents.
It is mainly 3 people that have most of the infected files, but (because they don't listen to me) they keep spreading it to more files (IE Opening old attachments that are infected and saving to the server as a new file). Of course the boss doesn't want to listen to me that its NOT a Mac virus and can't replicate itself on our system by itself (If it could EVERY .doc file would have it).
I have run AVG from a PC multiple times, and it said it 'healed' most of the files (With the exception of the ones attached in emails). Yet come back a few months later, and they all seem to be back.
Both myself and clients are starting to get really pissed off here (Because we keep sending them a virus) and I am coming to the end of my rope.
I have tried (As mentioned) AVG from a Windows Box on the network, I have tried Sophos (Worst program EVER, Caused my server to panic multiple times and does not allow me to choose folders within volumes, only volumes themselves, though it did say it was healing files in email, but then couldn't heal half the doc files), and ClamX (Which does not want to heal any files, it just wants to delete them, which I obviously don't want to do!).
I am naturally hesitant to install Norton on it, my past experience with it has shown it to be slow, buggy and a resource hog (Though I have not used it in about 4 years, so that may have changed).
I am not a huge MS Word fan especially on the Windozed side. I thought it was possible to disable Macros in Word. Would be a very good idea in this case.
Beyond that I would convert as many of these files as possible to pdf files.

It sounds like the fix for this is completely non-technical. Get the dummies who won't listen to you to listen.

If I could do that, it would make my life so much easier haha. Of course, that still leaves multiple files with this damn macro (Which you can't turn off on a Mac it seems, which still would leave it embedded im sure) in files that none of the AV programs seem to want to fully remove!!
