Sancho:
The other two repliers missed the point -- too bad.
What you suggest is an excellent idea and is the most effective way to protect and Enterprise environment. As others have noted, you can't have two different AV products installed on the smae platform, howeverm there are different components to a Enterprise Environment; File Server, Workstation, Email Server, Border Gateway.
You can improve your level of effectiveness by using different products on the different components. For example --
NAV/SAV - Border Gateway
McAfee - email server
NOD32 - workstation
Trend Micro - File Servers
In my office we use NAV on the Exchange Server and we use McAfee Enterprise v7.1 on the File Servers and Workstations.
I have had an instance where McAfee caught infectors that passed through the NAV AV software on the Echange server !
