I use AVG as it works very well and is updated on a daily basis and it's only about £100 for two years and the server version of Norton is £800 per year.
Hope this helps

NOD32, Sophos, McAfee - I'd agree with these...
Norton - I'd stay away from like the plague. In 12 years of professional experience, the only times I've seen entire networks have malware/virus problems has been with Norton/Symantec products. Most recently, about 6 months ago, a client got severely infected with a bug that Dr. Web using 3 month old Definitions caught but Symantec didn't. (3 days later, they did... but that was 93 days too late). In my opinion, Symantec is a FABULOUS marketing company - if they just hired some programmers who knew how to program (or perhaps it's management that never lets the products actually complete a beta period), then maybe I'd change my mind... but the last product to originate at symantec that didn't cause me headaches was the Norton Utilities circa 1994 (for Windows 3.11). Since then, it's been little more than bloated, resource hogging, trouble making software (ever try to uninstall a norton/symantec product?)
