I strongly disagree with you. Defense in Depth. An AV Software will
never be as good as a human with a clue. If you have people at work
that need to use the Internet, make sure they're thoroughly educated
in what they are doing, and making the right decisions. This will
ensure fewer security problems for you.

That's ok, I strongly disagree with you. You can educate all you want about not opening attachments that are not expected, blah blah blah. All it takes is an email from the President of the company with an attachment that says "Organizational Announcement" and bam, every PC in the company is infected if their AV software doesn't catch it first.
