I've been using AVG at home and like it very well. I've been 
considering switching our staff and public computers to AVG from 
Norton, but we've been using the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit to 
lockdown the public machines. It's worked well for us, since we're 
small and only have five public machines, but to update virus 
definitions with Norton, you have to log on as the admin. With 
Norton, I always when new definitions were available because the 
staff machines would let me know with their updates.

AVG's daily updates are a good thing, but I don't want to have to run 
updates every day, five times over. I know I can just run updates on 
a weekly schedule, but I was wondering if anyone has a better (but 
still free or at least very cheap) solution for automatic updates.
