We use Trend Micro's OfficeScan product. By "we" I mean that's what the 
university has a site license for. Our repair center is not installing 
it anymore because it tends to break Windows... we switched to Microsoft 
Security Essentials earlier this month and haven't looked back.

My personal opinion: avoid any Trend Micro product at any cost. Their 
support is basically non-existent. To top it off, we had a conference 
call with one of their support engineers and the sales guy and instead 
of offering solutions to our problems, they wanted to sell us an upgrade 
to a newer, "better" product that would magically make all of our issues 
go away. Yeah, right.
