Dumb users need training, not an antivirus.
If you are too cheap to school your people, put in their contracts that
the expenses for clean-up, network bandwidth, warning remote sites and
their clean-up fees will be deducted from their salary, three-fold.
Or, even more drastic, make spreading viruses a reason for immediate
termination of their job.
Then offer free training and put it on the tab of the first employee who
spreads a virus, double if he did not attend the free training course.

What business have your users on the Internet if they have this little
knowledge? Maybe you should hire a babysitting service?

Who cares? I got dozens of copies and none of them caused any damage.
It's the job of the administrator to make sure the working environment
is immune to outside damage, and to the extent possible to inside damage
as well.
If Sircam could do damage to your users, you did not do your job.
