Here are my stats for the last week:
found 12437 infected messages
1025 messages detected only by McAfee
   3 messages detected only by Bitdefender
 187 messages detected only by MailScanner

MS detection: filename rules (no EXE, BAT, ...).  As you can see there 
were only ~ 1200 messages detected by only one scanner.  Most of them ~ 
11200 were detected by more than one.

I use Bitdefender but I don't really like it.  I don't think they 
provide much support for it.  If it weren't for Clam's false positives 
about some file types heavily used here I would change Bitdefender for 
Clam any time!
