I use Sophos. They're very quick with their updates, and if you want 
automated downloading of new versions (of the software (which expires 
itself after 3 months) and/or the virus IDEs), I've a couple of scripts 
kicking around which work well. If you use Mandrake 9.1 I can make it 
all happen "rpm -ivh *.rpm" style.

One thing they don't do so well at is authentication. You can download 
the "protected" updates to their software without identifying yourself. 
I use this feature to pull one copy onto WAIX and then feed my licenced 
clients from there quickly and without having to worry about updating 
my scripts other than at the central depot.

Cheers; Leon
