I'm sure there are a few (ok more than a few) but the question would be why would you want to. Even in the best managed desktop environment you can't ensure that all the desktops are at the latest definition level, or that you user hasn't chosen to turn off the protection, or worse yet an admin turned it off to update a program and in a rush doesn't turn it back on. With the e-mail you have a limited number, can update at will, scan the mail and at least feel that you are doing the best job possible to keep the little critters out of your world. And the plus is you have control over the process, and yes I am a control nut. just as an FYI we run Trend on the server, and yes I Love It and will pay the price increase, and we run NAV on the desktop with the OL hook, that way the users who are also popping with the client (yes that's another topic!) can't bring one in on the other side. I am very pleased, the A/V along with blocking attachments has served us very well.
