SteadyState and anti-virus

If I'm running SteadyState on a machine do I really need to have an anti-virus program running?

yes for business i will also agree for symantec or mcafee. panda is free!
It's for a small business.  2 servers and 6 workstations.  The 2 servers will be going away soon, so the workstations will basically be used to connect to the Internet.  I would prefer free, of course, if it will provide sufficient protection.
Panda Cloud Antivirus doesn't work for servers! if you prefer free use AVG Anti-Virus Free Small Business Edition...
"AVG Anti-Virus Free Small Business Edition"  says:

If you have a small business with five or fewer PCs and dont yet have a local area network or server installed, this is the perfect solution for you.

Yes, Symantec and McAfee seem to stick around forever.  I'm going to try Panda out.
Want to add that even with steady state on it does not prevent the spread of USB thumb drive based virus's. Many thumb drives one boot.
We use sophos - seems to be much more end user friendly than symantec that we had previously.
