Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.
This is an impressive update to Microsoft's Small Business Server that packs a big punch. However, it may be overkill for a lot of companies and isn't quite as easy to manage as it first appears.
