Total Solution Firewall

I have a friend that manages several "executive suites".

He provides Internet connectivity (static IP addresses - ugh!) and has
several problems with his clients having viruses on their personal machines
and "shutting down" everyone else.

I am somewhat familiar with firewalls (ISA Server; Netscreen) and antivirus
software (Norton, Sophos, Trend, etc.), but I cannot seem to find something
that would incorporate all security, inclusive of firewall and antivirus
protection in a single device.

I know I could set up ISA Server as the Gateway and force virus protection
as they "log on", but I would prefer something a bit more "seamless".

Does anyone have an idea who makes something like this ?

Thanks in advance
