Yes. The product is geared toward protecting workstations and network
shares. There is no "script checking", "spam filtering", "spyware
detection", "POP3 email scanning". I've found no problems what-so-ever
with any of the installations at my workplace, due to conflicts with
other software, provided no other AV has been installed on access.

We push the updates to each workstation as they are released by Symantec
for Intelligent Updating. It's also impossible to have a machine on our
network that isn't protected by Symantec AV. The installation is pushed
to the machine, regardless of efforts to remove it .

Thanks, I was wondering if this would be the right solution for the
company I work in. We are currently using the normal Norton
AV-versions.
