[BC] I'd avoid Trend Micro

[Jeff Loughridge]

We run McAfee on all but audio desktops. That, combined with local firewall 
protection has eliminated any problems via the WAN. Our most troublesome 
machines are in the air and production studios. All audio is on a separate 
firewalled subnet, but the open machines for spot delivery, IM, texting, 
browsing, etc. continued to be problems and required frequent restoration 
from their Ghost image.

I now use a program called Fortres101. Awesome is the only word that 
describes it. The only problems we have now are random and infrequent 
hardware failures.
