Go away antivirus pigs!!!! (come on Vipre)

A client has Vipre on their network, was looking it over, the client is DAM slim - 7 mb of ram usage (between 2 services), and during scheduled scans it is running about 50 mb.

The managed server portion runs on a sql db (which most sbs servers already have), and it seems to take up about 140mb on the server.

Was reading some reviews - it comes in first on boot up scans (hate that on NOD/Symantec).

theres a 30 day trial of the Enterprise, and 15 day trial of the home version, and its cheap (compared to u-no-who).

home users:
$29.95 for a single user license ($19 on some sites),
$39.95 for a three-user license, or...
$49.95 to license all the computers in your house

Oh - and for you Mac users (yes there are viruses for you) - Vipre Enterprise does support OSX.

Couple of nice reviews for you:

So far for a runner up, I really like MS Security Essentials, but am not at all hot on Forefront (the corp version of MSSE), tho... there is not even one that is perfect, at least I can get on with my life without having an imperfect antivirus slaughter my PC (hopefully GFI keeps this straight).
