Microsoft Security Essentials for business? Is it any good?
Our AVG Business license is expiring and instead of renewing the license for $500, I would rather go with something free on the workstations (not the server). We have about 15 or so computers, only a few having limited internet access. I do not need to centrally manage them. Would MS Security Essentials work fine on them as long as I do a little training on best practices to the people that use the internet? If not Essentials, what other antivirus solutions are there that are okay for a business to install? What else should I consider besides just antivirus?
Thanks!

It's good enough. We recently migrated from Kaspersky to ESET and couldn't be happier.
I've played with it a little. Probably not a bad fit, but I did notice on some machines it seems to occasionally take a little more CPU or memory than I would have expected.

What about a good server anti-virus? My AVG business requires me to buy two licenses, but I only have the one server. Can I get a "normal" anti-virus for the server?
