IT here who has tried this. Completely agree, av tools are pigs and they never seem to stop viruses. Intuitively virus writers must test vs common av tools before releasing. A locked down network without av on the endpoints worked better in my experience, and the users loved it. The only reasons I still use av for some offices is this: 1. A manager will inevitably ask "omg why wasn't there AV on this users station?! Are you negligent!?" 2. Locking down the network can get in the user's way too. Just because I have good network practices doesn't mean that the software you require does too. All it takes is one business need/damn the damn the risks, and you are left scrambling.
