I asked about an anti-virus solutions for my new SBS 2003 server / network
on this news group a while back and was pointed in the direction of trend
micro.

I have been very pleased with the product.

I actually had (have) a laptop that was infected with spyware. Between the
new microsft Beta Anti-Spyware and the new Trend Micro, all have been
eradicated, which, honestly, I didn't think would ever happen.

The Trend Micro product is very easy to install, and works well without any
maintenance headaches at all so far.
