I’m worried about this statement in the manual “You have to use Windows XP’s wireless zero configuration (XP’s built in wireless
network connection program) to manage the card. If for instance you have a Linksys
wireless card and are using the Linksys utility to manage wireless connections the card
may not get disabled by Wireless AutoSwitch.”
That is an issue for us.

Check out Wireless AutoSwitch it does what you want. It disables the wireless card when a LAN cable is plugged in and enables the wireless card when the LAN cable is disconnected. http://www.wirelessautoswitch.com

I suspect this comment was intended for the Bluecoat post.
I agree with you about Kaspersky’s update times and what they detect. You’ve made me feel a bit better about this.

Blue Coat does address zero-day. Kaspersky AV has very strong heuristics to find new and variant attacks. Look at http://www.av-comparitives.org for their “lookback” tests, where last month’s Kaspersky finds this month’s viruses. Also, Kaspersky AV is automatically updated every 15 minutes or so, far more often than Trend, McAfee of Symantec.

Use Sygate Enterprise protection Agent. Can check rules before a machine gets access to the LAN. One of them could be that he disables WiFi if connected on the LAN.
