Oh Symantec for sure.  It will keep you gainfully employed for years with all 
the things it breaks(or get you fired, quickly).

In all seriousness I've never had a problem with TrendMicro but they have 
always been very expensive.

I will be considering Microsoft AV on the desktop next time round and possibly 
Trend on the mail and web gateways.  I understand why people think Microsoft AV 
is a bad idea but my experience with their latest product has been very 
positive and if independent AV testers keep giving the thumbs up then I see no 
reason to ignore it.

AVG always stood for "average" I thought.

What do you guys like (besides Vipre, obviously! :)) for 
antivirus/anti-spyware/anti-malware/etc? Our AVG is coming up for renewal in 
January and I'm not sure I want to renew it. I am considering Vipre, although I 
thought the interface (on the home version - didn't have a spare server to set 
up the Enterprise trial) was a bit "clunky" due to having to "white list" an 
app in several different places. :(

I'm also considering purchasing a bunch of licenses for Malware Bytes so I can 
have that on every desktop. I'm also thinking about F-Secure/F-Prot. I know 
that one of our vendors uses and recommends Kaspersky and I have used them in 
the past at home.  Any others?

The idea of using a Microsoft antivirus doesn't sit well with me.... Of course 
there's always the argument of "they know where the security holes are so they 
can protect them." But my answer to that is, "well, if they know where the 
holes are, they can fix 'em and not charge me for an antivirus product!" :)
