Submission + - Central anti-virus for small business

was wondering what others may be using in similar situations, and how satisfied they are with it.
In my case, it's a small network of around 20 Windows XP machines with a Linux server. It is too big to manage each client manually. However, there is no no full-time IT person on site, and no Windows Active Directory server (just Linux with Samba). And the current solution with Symantec Endpoint Protection
seems too expensive, and too complex for such a simple need.
On the Linux server side, email is handled by amavisd and ClamAV. But the WinXP clients still need a real-time anti-virus for the USB disks they may bring to work, or stuff they download from their personal webmail or other sites.
Certainly many of you had the same problem, and now have opinions on the solutions you used."
