What are NOD32's scalability and large enterprise implementation
considerations? It seems like it has trouble with dealing with systems that
are not on the same LAN...
Can you elaborate on that topic?

Hi Charles,
It looks like you have not used NOD32 yet. Its heuristics are far from
inaccurate and in over 3 years I've not had a single false positive.
So, it looks like what you've been told and what we've experienced are
two totally different things. Also, remember that there are some
products with ineffective and unreliable heuristics engines - McAfee
comes to mind here.
You can stick with whatever product you want - it's a free world. :)
Which is why I stick with NOD32 - it makes it a safe world. My clients
definitely appreciate NOD32 and Quark IT for recommending NOD32 to them.
