I agree with your conclusion about Internet based solutions. Trend is clearly the leader today as far as Internet based anti-virus is concerned. Symantec, however, has content filtering products from a recent acquisition that place them in this area also. And I believe that they will announce a Solaris or Linux AV product before the end of the year. My main concern with Trend is valuation, not strategy or products. I am concerned about their lofty P/E ratio. I think Symantec is a good alternative if you want to be in this space. NETA is a "value play" with product problems but a large customer base. Conan
