Anti-virus software to rent

We have noticed that many of our clients use freeware versions of popular anti-virus packages duch as Avast Home or the free versions of AVG.

These packages were offered for free to use at home (non-commercial use), but it seems as if they have been installed on a large amount of work PC's as well. Unfortunately, the free ride is over and we have to get legitimate licenses.

Because of this we have added a monthly anti-virus rental option to our portfolio of services. We have partnered with three major anti-virus vendors and are now able to offer a rental option on three of the most popular anti-virus brands. You are now able to rent either Bitdefender, AVG or Viper Enterprise on a monthly per seat basis.

The rental cost per workstation or server works out to R30.00 per device per month. Cheap!

Any client on managed services gets the rental option at a discounted rate of R10.00 per device per month. Clients on our premium package get the anti-virus option thrown in as part of the deal.

I prefer and use AVG in my company, but we are able to support any one of the three products.

If you need help or advice on your anti-virus licenses or deployment options, please feel free to give us a ring on 087 806 1330 or 0861 CLEVER.

Regards
Arno
