      As for enterprise AV, I have about 30 PCs at work, I am unable
to
      fathom out pricing or even if I would want to buy any enterprise
AV,
      All I have to do to stay protected is flatten and rebuild
warez-dude's
      pc every night (if anyone has tools to do that, please let me
know!)


Ghost?  Deepfreeze?

        I am amazed you managed to avoid saying nasty things about
Symantec
        or Norton, such as how Norton is behemoth that converts your
shiny
        new pc into a concussed brick. 

        When I have the misfortune to buy laptops, they always come with

        one or the other above, its also the first crapware to get
removed.
        Then I can remove all the other crap three times faster.

        ... read the fine print? I challenge anyone to wade through
