Corporate AV software and from what I see it's a viable alternative,
installs on whatever joins the domain etc. I don't know how it compares
price wise with Norton but it seems very light on resource usage so it's an
alternative and frankly anything is better than what you have which is by
now virtually nothing.
Have looked briefly at Panda and AVG corp as well and they all look much the
same. They tell me Kaspersky is the best but every time I've tried it it's
gotten screwed up somehow so I don't know about that... Certainly while
working it was very good.
If you suspect malicious trojans I also suggest a look at BoClean from
www.nsclean.com because it too is very light on resources and even if you
don't leave it on machines it's far quicker than "Scanning" type utilities
and makes a very useful tool while cleaning up.
You might also mention that spyware is a huge problem these days and
becoming infected is not a reflection on admin competence, it's a fact of
life that there are skilled professionals working against us all.
