Sit them down.
Tell them they are not saving money with you sneakernetting to make sure
that those onesy and twosey are working at they should.
Trend CSM also does vulnernability scans (scans for missing patches).

That's SBSized antivirus products (three of them compared) ... note that
ALL of them have an admin console.
Get yourself in the position that you can sit at the console eating bon
bons.

cost $XXX.XX thousand dollars, all they will hear is "THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS".
If I go and say that I spent $50.00 on a onesy twosey basis, they don't
blink. Its a question of having something rather than 'nothing'. Previous,
battles have been Marketing hijacking the Email system altering to their own
specs, melting down a proxy server, and infesting the network with hundreds
of virus's and thousands of spam's because they would listen about filtering
practices. Everybody, thinks they know better.

You use PCCillian in a small LAN? Why not a console/domain based A/V?

I have a small network, (30 systems 3 servers), two independent email
channels. One channel is a web based service, the other hosted at our
location. Each workstation and server has its own automatically
updated (daily) virus software (Trend/PcCillin). All systems get an
automated weekly scan. My concern is; neither email channel is logging
any virus detections, all the software tests ok. None of the
workstations or servers are detecting any virus'. Zero detections over
the past 30 days. Our volume is about 2400 messages a month. So
where'd the virus' go?
