Not all viruses or malware get a name and not all of them are discovered by antivirus tools even if 'code analysis' and other advanced tools discover them. So for more advanced security for more important infrastructure you will need advanced tools. Except if you want to wait for the day that somewhere something happens on your network that is strange but you can't find any alert by your traditional antivirus tools. It is also clear that if you are in a high security environment you need different antivirus and so on tools.
It would as an example not be a bad idea to be able on turn on different antivirus and securitytools on your proxytools in your network - even if that would be for a special segment of your network.

School computers saved
I am a computer teacher in a reputed school. The computers of our school were severely plagued with trojans. The speed of our computers was drastically decreased and eventually the students started loosing interest in the subject. It was really a serious problem and also my job was getting insecure but finally search–and-destroy helped me. It scanned and removed several trojans and eventually the speed of our computers increased, students are now very much interested in learning computers and of course my job is secured.
