As a computing advisor for my building my freshman year of college (in charge of about 150 users and their computers) i had to deal with a fair share of viruses. I hold that the best method for any University is just to have educated staff to deal with virus issues for the students, but overall, leave it up to the students to maintain their computers. We had a site license for NAV, and many people were able to use it 95% effectively, which is good enough when most of them are arts & crafts (er... arts and sciences) majors.

I personally don't even run Antivirus software, except for installing it on occasion just to make sure i haven't goofed and gotten a virus. I control my computer and i don't get viruses. And i run windows, with outlook, scripting enabled and everything. I'm just not an idiot.

So remember. Don't blame the software. Anytime a virus is introduced, its ultimately ALWAYS the users fault.
