Nope no regrets, the "bad me" was more about not doing a thorough due diligence 
before moving them to Vipre - hadn't occurred to me to see if Trend had 
upgraded their product before shopping elsewhere is all. The Vipre move saved 
my clients money even if you factor in the new install and learning curve, and 
it works fine.

As stated earlier... on one client I cranked up full paranoia mode and it nuked 
Outlook (Sunbelt didn't have that particular version of the outlook.exe on file 
yet) so be sure to test settings changes on a small group first :).

Also as Phil said, Sunbelt's support is great, and on the Vipre list there's a 
couple guys who seem to know the product almost as well as Sunbelt.

So are you saying you regret moving to Vipre?

As someone else said, load it up on a server and some systems (VM's maybe?) and 
subscribe to the Vipre Enterprise list. As you said, since NOD32 Is working 
well I think you'd just need to get a feel for what you think about Viper 
Enterprise vs NOD32.

Speaking of AV, in my experience I have had very very low infection rates with 
both Trend or McAfee. I went to Vipre for the better spyware/malware side, only 
later realizing Trend updated their product. Bad me.

How big is your network? I converted a couple of clients (less than 25 seats) 
from Trend OfficeScan (aka Worry-Free business) to Vipre, as well as my own 
small shop, but not 100% convinced it's ready for "prime big time" (Nothing 
glaring really, it's just the conservative side of me). There's a Vipre 
Enterprise mailing list that is worthwhile to watch too.

For small businesses the lower cost will probably offset the slight learning 
curve. (Note: cranking up the security  to full blown paranoia mode will create 
some work for you :)).

My NOD32 is coming up for renewal, I installed the demo version of VIPRE, so 
far it looks good.
Is there any reason not to change?
NOD323 has worked very well for me, so why switch?
Well the $$ are very attractive but if there is a problem it's not worth the 
switch!

What are your experiences?
