I've been using F-Secure in addition to bitdefender and clamav. It uses
three different av engines; f-prot; kasperski, and some other one I
can't recall at the moment. Not sure how they do that, but I've been
quite happy with it. Gotta pay for it, of course, but it's a lot
cheaper than the IT department cleaning up an outbreak! :-)
Truth be told however, I see very few viruses hitting my MailScanner
box. I reject an awful lot of emails at the MTA via greet-pause and
recipient/sender checking. I suspect that many of what would be virus
laden messages are thus squelched before they're allowed anywhere near
my mail servers. That shouldn't be construed as a suggestion that
anybody slacken their AV profile - I'm just curious to know what sort of
virus hit rate others see...
