Indiana University has this approach. They provide Symantec AV CE to all faculty, staff, students and departments free of charge (well, I'm sure they recoup the cost indirectly). It is offered as a download off their IUWare site. They also offer AdAware SE Plus for free to everyone for spyware protection. That being said, I use NOD32 at home and our department is switching over as well.
