RE: CSA vs anti-virus, anti-spam, popup blockers, etc

Hey Shaun,

Thanks for your input. Do you know if I have to be concerned about
conflicts if I'm running CSA along with anti-virus software?

Will these 2 programs play "nice" with each other?

If CSA is being deployed, does it make any difference which anti-virus
software is used?

(I've heard rumors that CSA can be "picky" about which anti-virus software
package is running on the same box.)

Amy thoughts or comments?

TIA, Tim

Its another tool, if you get a virus or worm with CSA you still have a virus
or worm on your system and can still affect other machines it simply stops
it from totally affecting your machine.

Hi guys,

 

Should I think of CSA (Cisco Security Agent) as an alternative to all the
various anti -badstuff software that's out there or think of CSA as just
another tool that can be used to further protect a system?

 

>From what I'm hearing, CSA if properly setup and configured can negate the
need for all that anti-badstuff software.

 

Please feel free to offer your thoughts and comments.

 

TIA, Tim
