At my previous place of work we used McAfee enterprise AV solution and I was there for nearly three years and not one serious virus infestation.

On the other hand at my current place of work been there nearly 2.5 years and we use Sophos endpoint AV solution current version 4. I believe it all depends on how it is configured in your IT infrastructure and how often it's updated with dat files and patches. Obviously testing these in a test lab before role out.

I must say from my current experience, Sophos has catched every virus on the network so far and isolated it. Just last year we had the conflicker virus infested out entire IT infrastructure and guess what every one of those PC's infected were treated from the Sophos enterprise console.

So all in all, it really does boil down to how knowledgeable you're about the AV solution and how well it's configured and updated on a regular basis. Just my two pence worth of opinion though.
