Your pick of the virus scanners...

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.
