If I had to pick between the 2 I would go with trend micro.
Norton all sorts of bad.
I personally use Groupshield 4.5 sp2.
But in reality anything that allows you to do file extension blocking is good. Never rely on a virus scanner to block viruses. It's just not a wise path to travel.
Always be preemtive and block file extensions. A list that I block is below:
000,??_,386,a,acm,asp,ax,bak,bat,bin,cab,cat,cfg,chm,com,cpi,cpl,dat,dev,dll,dnu,dot,drv,enu,esn,exe,fnt,fra,h,hlp,hta,htt,hxx,ice,inf,ini,iss,ita,jfx,js,jse,lnk,log,mod,msc,msi,nls,nt,ocx,olb,ole,pci,pdf,pif,pot,prx,qtp,qts,qtx,reg,rnd,scr,sep,sex,shs,sql,str,sve,sys,trn,twd,twm,uce,vbe,vbp,vbs,vxd,wsh,xxx

Trend Micro is by far the best. Been using it now for over 2 years. I could go on and on for hours about the features, but i won't. Lets just say that I have no trouble sleeping at night. I use a 3 way protection with it. Office scan Corp edition (for all my desktops), Trend server protect. ( for the servers) and Ttend Scanmail for the exchange mail boxes All integrated into Trends VCS (virus control center). It all adds up to that I have not had even one pc down from a virus. And i know they have gotton some because I receive an email every time someone gets one. The part i like best is the autoupdate feature, and that it doesnt take a reboot to install.
I hope you make the right choice

I have been using Norton Corp edition for four years and have NEVER had a virus in my buildings. Currently I have over 5000 users in my Enterprise all using outlook for the mail client and running Exchange 2K. It is a bit more complicated to get setup, but has a few advantages over Trend. I have nearly 300 servers running in four states and never had a problem. The software is server based and looks for virus signature updates every 15 minutes. The local machines look to that server (as long as they are on) every hour to be updated. The local client has outlook integration and I can push special rules to certain groups via Active Directory.
If you have a smaller enterprise I would probably go with Trend. It is a bit cheaper - probablyjust as good virus definitions, but not as controllable over a WAN environment.
