What's the best deal on SOHO A/V software?

[lpbk2713]

Since most packages that I see are sold at a per station rate on a yearly license I wonder what would be the least expensive way to go to put A/V protection on six networked PC's running WinXPPro. From what I have seen this would run somewhere around $300. Does anyone know any other solution that would not be that expensive?


Thanks in advance.
