Asking for an antivirus recommendation is like asking for a definitive answer on the best flavor of Ice Cream. You will never get an answer everyone agrees upon. I use and strongly recommend VIPRE. I hate and will likely never (certainly not in the foreseeable future) use Symantec - in my EXPERIENCE and opinion, they are awful and the only time in the last 3 years I've had to clean an infected PC is when they've been running Symantec. Hardly effective in my experience and often causing more problems than it's worth.
MSE is limited to 10 systems in a business, if memory serves. If you have more than that, you need Forefront if you want the MS solution (I wouldn't use it... in fairness, I have no experience with them, but VIPRE has done a fantastic job, it's affordably priced and comes with a great deployment tool.
