Microsoft Forefront For Sharepoint

I just finished configuring Forefront for Sharepoint.

This is a very useful users guide:

My next step is to test out the Management Console. We have 6 WFE's in our prd farm so it would make life easier to make configuration changes in 1 place. So far we are only using virus protection. Looking forward to using the file filters.

One thing I like about forefront is it catches files that are excluded by Sharepoint. It will actually look at the header of the file. So a user can't change a .mov extention to a .txt file and upload it to their mysite.

I have done a little testing on this and it works perfectly. I do not like the fact that if a file gets captured it displays a message as if the file has a virus. I do remember at Tech-Ed 08 someone stated in a session that this will be addressed in the next version. Due to this we are not using the file filter option because we don't want users to get confused.
