I have just talked a long time with our distributer and with Symantec about a
good antivirus solution for a SBS2003 running exchange and 6 clients.

The answer from Symantec was as followed

We recommend that you go with the Enterprice solutions for groupware so you
get the extra "module" for the Exchange server. If not Exchange, you can go
with the 5 client retailed packed solutions.
The Enterprice solutions requires that you buy atleast 10 licenses.
Symantec artnr nr for full version is
10261551-IN
upgrade is 10261559-IN.
With that you also need the media pack (the physical cd) with art nr
10246452-IN.

I also talked to a computer store that are specialised at windows server
solutions and they recomended the anti-virus solutions from F-secure.
When I asked him what he thought was the best, he said that it was more a
question of taste. The one you know is the one you use.

Hope this helps
