I always suggest McAfee Enterprise anti virus.

If I had to evaluate a corporate AV product, I'd certainly use two
products from different manufacturers that are using different scan
engines. One on the mail server and the other one on the desktops.

If one fails to detect a malware, there's a chance that the second one
detects it.

That's a very good point and thanx Gabriela for bringing it up.
In a corporate environment a heterogeneous anti virus solution is much better than a
homogeneous solution.
 
Why? Are you really that bitter at the world?
The corporate version of McAfee is lightyears better than the
consumer edition.
We use McAfee and Sophos here.
In recent evals, F-Secure looked quite handy (rebadged
Kaspersky, iirc, and a nice central management console).

At work, everyone disables it because it hogs your system too much when it
runs. What good is an AV that everyone disables?

(a) We don't find it to be too much of a system hog here (~
20,000 installations). But we don't include the daily scan in
the default install - that one is a bit processor-intensive.
(b) Why do your end users have the capability to disable it?

They design either computer hardware or software for a living. If the're
determined, they can do anything; you won't be able to stop them.
