With small buisnesses wanting to protect themself from the internet threats do you think that Avast Managed Client should include somekind of firewall to make an all in one solluttion ?

I think yes. If I had a business I would only want 1 product to do everything that way it is much more simple.
Thats what I think also, but I believe that this should only be for the Avast Mnaged Version not Avast 4 Normal Edition.
I think that have should copy Symantec , but only on its marketing technique not the products, meaning that it Avast should have a seperate Antivirus\Antivirus + Firewall\Firewall that way everyone will have only what they want.

As far as I know, a good quality stand-alone firewall is allways better than "bundled bloatware"solutions, that will slow down PC speed. :-\ (that’s my IMHO)
Take care.
I don’t use ADNM (although I have translated it) but I feel than an incorporated firewall will always be worse than a standalone.
Justin’s point is valid from a marketing point of view. Many users (business and home) want integrated products either for convenience or from a desire to learn as little as possible about true security (isn’t this the reason for Norton’s and McAfee’s success?). But I would rather have stand alone products.
Maybe the answer is a GUI that gives the impression of using an integrated firewall while actually controlling distinct programs.
Most probably will be two standalone applications, antivirus + firewall that IF they’re present togheter in the same computer they COULD be integrated.
Yes, I think this is the mind 8)
One install package incorporating Anti Virus, Firewall and Spy Ware all bundled under the Alwil - avast! label
but consisting of 3 separate programs.
During the install, you can use the default of installing all 3 programs or, on a selective install,
add only the modules/options you specify.
With that type of choice, you would get the best of all options wrapped up in one bundle. IMHO
