    In this edition of Five Apps, we take a look at five enterprise grade antivirus systems that fall just under that handful of major players.  These five systems are among the myriad of systems available.  The only requirement is that there is a centralized management console to manage and control the client-side software.

    First up is Avast!  The admin console contains many tasks for admins to maintain and monitor their client systems.
