  I've recommended Norton, because they *appear* to have a solution for this,
according to their website, that lets one central station roll out updates to
the rest of the network.
  I haven't had a chance yet, though, to see how well this works in practice,
since we have an existing site license for MacAfee and changing didn't get
into this year's budget.
