I've been experimenting with TrendMicro's scanner. I'm not sure of the
pricing (it's free for home use) but this is the fastest scanner I've
used. I mean...this sucker is really quick!
TrendMicro updates their virus files in a timely fashion and I wrote my
own update script to work with MailScanner's update_virus_scanners script.
So far it has caught every virus that's hit my system. I use it with
ClamAV and F-Prot.
