Myself I've only known of two infections that Gateway A/V didn't stop. The first one we suspect was from a USB flash drive. The second was probably because I had disabled Gateway AV because it gave me a false positive on a file I was downloading, then I forgot to reenable it. D'oh!

We run client AVs too, but usually they're Microsoft Security Essentials or something like that.
The reason I said the Gateway AV wasn't as good as it can be was due to a couple viruses getting through about a year ago. Nothing serious as the client AVs caught it, but something the Sonicwall should have stopped.
Otherwise it works remarkably well. Does a good job at stopping malware attacks too.
