Thank you everyone for your feedback. And thanks for the link Ben, I see NOD32 is listed as 3rd place with these guys, right after Kapersky. BitDefender was also my initial second choice.
I found this quote interesting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOD32 "...NOD32 is written largely in assembly code [2], which contributes to its low use of system resources and high scanning speed. NOD32 can process more than 23MB per second while scanning on a P4 based PC [3] and, on average, uses less than 20MB of memory in total. [1] The physical RAM used is often just a third of that.[4] According to a 2005 Virus Bulletin test, NOD32 performs scans two to five times faster than other antivirus competitors...." And I like the sounds of the Remote administrator feature in the business version. But I'll give everyone's recommendations a quick spin and see how they go. My needs are just for my home/dev network where I have 4 workstations and one server I use just for staging my development work. Fortunately I leave the production shielding up to my customers. Oh, and I have 2 Macs, but I don't worry about those ;-) All the best, and thank you again.
