We upgraded from SAM to Symantec's NAV for Mac
<http://www.symantec.com/nav/fs_navmac5.html>. Virus Definition timeliness
is much better than NAI/McAfee - so much so that I even switched from being
a long time McAfee PC user to Symantec's NAV 4.0 for Win 95/98 (Version 5
just out <http://www.symantec.com/nav/fs_nav5-95nt.html>). Virus
Definitions for NAV PC are a full month ahead of McAfee.
