On om my larger clients has move to using Windows Defender on the computers
as he had performance issues with Norton and other anti-virus software.  I
am not sure what is running on his servers (2).  I am sure that he has a
hardware firewall installed.

What gets me about Norton, is they don't make it easy to turn the whole
thing off when you are having an install problem or a performance problem
and are trying to see where the problem is.
