Hi,

I think the best solution will depend as well on whether you require
centralized management which would include auto updating of virus definition
files. If you go for the Norton enterprise version you would be able to
update all your hosts from a central point.

If this is not an issue then going for something like Trend Server Protect
would be a good idea to detect viruses that Norton would have missed.
