Having AV software on a network is only a small part of protecting it. One of the main problems facing any business, with a network and employee's, is stopping viruses and malware at the employee level. Unfortunately employee's still download those lovely programs with malware attached to them, and they still open attachments.

I'm curious as to how many members have a policy in place addressing this issue and how you "police" your employee's?

Is disciplinary action taken if a malware infested program or virus is discovered on an employee's computer? What have you found to be most effective?

Do employee's have access to training on the matter of security?

With virus creation and quicker releases of new versions security is more of an issue now than it once was - and growing rapidly. There are many companies who are not taking it as seriously as they should because of lack of information or mis-information. There are companies who do take it seriously, thankfully, but even they fall short in area's. Having an AV program is not the solution it's only a drop in the bucket. I rant about this all the time, I know :) I am really curious to see the responses - so I'll go sit down and be quiet. :)
