Second and third and fourth that.

I work for a company with easy 10k users, we used to use Sophos, and
switched to Mcafee (sp) - which was enforced upon us by our parent
company, and still I think was a very poor move -  Sophos to me just
worked much better - and has good UNIX support. (as UNIX engineer, a
plus point to save all the Windows people from viruses on ftp servers)

I would avoid *any* Symantec product, because IMHO, everything they
touch turns to a huge steaming pile of crap, - e.g. Veritas and Altiris
support for both is now dire..
