However, it must be advised that not having anti-virus software on each
computer is like not having car insurance saying I do not drive anywhere so
I do not need it.

AV on each computer is your last line of defense against viruses, worms and
trojans. AV software on the gateway is not going to stop an outbreak from
someone using an infected CD or floppy or laptop.
