For those looking for a proprietary virus scanner, I can recommend Sophos.
They have a server side scanner which sits in front of your mail server
process and works just nicely. As Sophos also sells Windows desktop scanners,
they keep up with all the latest viruses and I think it's quite reasonably
priced - something round 1K / annum for ~50 users.
