P.S don't worry a short answer is fine.

All-in-One suite?
None.

Not worth the resources and no one company has shown (me at least)
that they can do it all.  Sure - they might have a strength in one
aspect of security (antivirus, antispyware, firewall, etc..) - but
seldom have they mastered them all.

The best "security" is common sense and proper computing
maintenance.

Please explain..  If you are allowed to do that.. *grin*

(If I was going to choose the lesser of the evils of an all-in-one from the ones you listed - Trend Micro.)

The IT department has multi user license for these and it is required for any system that is attached to a network other than the internal network. The government didn't mind but they preferred Trend Micro, just because that is what there people use.
