I tend to like Trend Micro OfficeScan. It allows you to create scripts to automatically update clients, can report clints virues to an administrator, and seems to find more malicious files and viruses than any other product I have seen. I think you are going to find out that there are a lot of opinions on which anti-virus is the best (almost as many if someone were to ask is MS or Linux better), but from my experiences Trend Micro has never let me down. You may also want to check out Panda, I have heard it is a good product too.

AVG (www.grisoft.com) does a credible job and is considerably less expensive than most other quality anti-virus software.

Several network versions are available.

I recommend Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition. Server and client installation and configuration are very easy, just like installing simple application. The management console is easy to install, learn and manage, although it doesn't produce good management reports. User configuration can be locked. The hardest thing you must do at beginning is determining at what hour your server must do liveupdate to get the update as soon as possible. Usually Symantec release update on 1 AM US time (I don't know which time zone).
