Multiple anti-virius solutions?
Um... why install multiple vendors? All you do is eat up resources and cause your system to slow down even more. Oh wait, Mac's are superior and can handle it *eye roll*

Sorry, no points for apple on this one - first basically tell your customer you dont need anti-virus solutions because your a niche product (essentially) and then do a total reverse course and tell your customer to install several? What message does that send? (albiet an invalid one - One anti-virus, One firewall [software]).
