Norton antivirus does suck. That is why I use Symantec Antivirus that is
designed for the business. You can't compare Norton antivirus (that is
designed for the home user) with Trend that is designed for the business, it
isn't apples to apples.

I've been using Symantec's corporate antivirus since the day they released
it in 1997 and have never had any major issues with it. Still recommend it
today. Just don't care much for how much antivirus cost now days....

Make sure and get Symantec Antivirus 9.0 with Groupware protection for your
SBS which comes in 5, 10 and 25 packs. This package includes Symantec
Antivirus Corporate Edition for the desktop and servers, plus Symantec Mail
Security for Exchange to protect your email. They also have an Enterprise
edition that includes Symantec Mail Security for SMTP, that works very well
and takes all the load off of Exchange but of course cost more...
