Anti-spyware for LAN deployment

I seem to be plagued with deployment problems with the anti spyware product Pest Patrol. Solving these problems often is very time consuming and involves mindless un-install and re-install and registry hacks with the ever keen techs on the CA PestPatrol help desk never losing their cool. ;-)

With my latest install I got a checksum failure on the initial download of the updates - in most respects this product seems quite neat, but I have spent too much time on installs with hardly a single one working perfectly for all workstations on the LAN.

Does anyone know of a similar product, which has a central console for a LAN with downloads to a central point, and most importantly, deployment of the software across the LAN from a central point?

Thanks in advance - Mark

Has anyone experience with the Trend product - apparently has a central administrative interface for a LAN deployment ..

Many thanks to SunBow and richrumble, and well earned points divvy.

I did email to Trend and they responded with this:
"We do have a corporate produc similar to that which is Officescan.
For this you make an update on the server and all client PC's gets updated as well."

I have new Pest Patrol site which won't install at all on Windows 2003 server - can't download updates - checksum error - unable to solve this one with CA assistance, so maybe a big chance for Trend Micro ...
Thanks
In the meantime, no further news at this end, it remains rather disheartening
Do know in advance that several vendors who add cost, had swiped (illegally, not shared) the code to accomplish the little that they can do from shareware suppliers.   This means, that they will be unable to sustain their own support for their own product.
