Virus scanners and universities

[Nathan Johanson]

CA (etrust) is actually ~$129.00 for five node licenses. You could
install it on five "servers" for that price.

ClamAV is free and open source, and is remarkably good.
eTrust from Computer Associates (www.ca.com) is only $129 per server.
Norman (www.norman.de) is free for non-commercial use.
Sophos have extremely good educational discounts.

Start with those...
