There are many antivirus and antimalware options available these days. So, how do you know you're purchasing the right one? Or how do you even know if you should purchase one versus using a free product?

The answer to this question is actually not that easy. The first thing to make sure of is that you're using one designed for the types of systems you have. If you have a mail server in your building, you should be using one capable of scanning email folders, as one example. Also, many of the free virus scanning solutions are not meant for "business licensing" so you may be violating the terms if you use it for a business. Also, some *just* scan for viruses, while others also do malware/spyware/adware scanning as well.

Make sure you are getting protection for everything you need, and make sure you are getting EVERY MACHINE IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT protected. Some companies make the mistake of not paying for a license for a couple less critical machines that they don't care as much about. But if that computer is on the same network, and it gets a virus, it can more easily infect the rest of the machines, or cripple the network in other ways.
